I have 2080 ti with this i7 4820k 3.70 GHz and was wondering if it is too outdated to run at 4k settings?
Very helpful thank you4k is HEAVILY gpu dependent and needs lots of gpu horsepower. however, the cpu side of it is not as important. you can look for some benchmarks done for that cpu and it might be ok for many games.
tom's did a bunch of tests before with 4k and found that even a dual core pentium was almost as good as the 8 thread i7's of the time for 4k!! the cpu spends a lot of time waiting for the gpu so less cpu power is needed.
do some looking and you may be surprised what you can do at 4k with the cpu.
