I7 4790k with 1070 sli bottlenecking?

[koolguy978]

Just ordered 2 gigabyte founders edition of the gtx 1070. I also have 12 gb of memory ram.

No, no bottleneck whatsoever from the 4790.

 

[Mr Kagouris]

No, a 4790k cannot bottleneck any configuration of cards that it supports.

Did I do a right move upgrading from 2x 970 sli?

 

[bootcher]

If you were not happy with your current performance then it should be a good upgrade. If you are already maxing out all your games then it is a useless upgrade.

 

[Mr Kagouris]

If you're spending that much it's better if you went for a GTX 1080. Either way you'll get a massive improvement over 970 SLI.

I maxed out every game except gta 5. I'm hoping to max it out with the 1070s

What resolution are you playing at?

What resolution are you playing at?

1080 at 120hz.I usually get 60-80 frames in gta on high setting and some max. I do plan on using vr in the near future as well.

I was able to max most games with the 970 I had on 1080p. Not sure how with 2 in SLI you weren't crushing that resolution.

In any case, the 1070s should dumpster anything you throw at them at that resolution.

Sorry clicked wrong button. Don't forget its 120Hz, 1080p is an easy standard these days but to push this res to 120fps in modern games on high settings consistently can be demanding, which i get with GTA 5.

Only problem is VR can only utilize one GPU so SLI won't do you any good for VR.
