Question Old hardware new gfx

[JBS SOUND]

So I have an ancient system 4690k and a 1070 the only games I play are fifa 23 and the forza motorsport series’s I’m thinking of upgrading to a 2070 or 2080 as the prices ain’t that bad only thing is will my system seriously bottleneck these cards and will they do 4K decently

Yes 4790k will seriously bottleneck either card. I don't recommend it. I did something similar with a 4790 and 5700xt and got really bad results....

so I’m better off staying with my 1070 it’s starting to show it’s age now but I’m really stuck without upgrading the entire system

The 1070 is effectively equivalent to a 1660 ti or 1660 super. You might want to consider updating the other parts of the system first (cpu board ram), keeping the 1070 for the time being. You might find your fps goes up a little but you likely wouldn’t be able to dial detail up.

Yes you really are....
