Question Please help set my performance expectations

[Imacflier]

G'Morning, All,

Will the combination of I9-9900K + RTX 3070 8GB Vram play at 60 FPS, ultra preset, 1080p for those titles which fit in 8GB Vram?

If not about what FPS should I expect?

TIA,

Larry

What sort of titles are we looking at here?

Considering you're on a i9-9900K, CoffeeLake platform, you should pair DDR4-3200MHz~DDR4-3600MHz dual channel ram with a Z series chipsetted, beefy VRM designed motherboard and because you're looking at the RTX3070, you should make sure your PSU can deliver 850W to the entire system, apart from it being reliably built.

TITLES: ELDEN RING; BALDUR'S GATE SERIES; GTA SERIES; AND SIMILAR CPU: I9-9900K GPU: RTX3070 8GB Vram RAM: KINGBANK 32GB 4000MHz MOTHERBOARD: GIGABYTE Z390I AORUS PRO WIFI W/AUXILLARY 60MM VRM COOLING FAN STORAGE: 4TB NVME x 2 PSU (PLANNED): CORSAIR SF 750

you should make sure your PSU can deliver 850W to the entire system, apart from it being reliably built.

I KNEW THE RTX 3070 EXPERIENCED HIGH SURGE CURRENT DEMANDS, BUT I THOUGHT THE SURGES WERE OF SHORT ENOUGH DURATION TO MAKE 750 WATTS ADEQUATE. ARE THE SURGES REALLY LONG ENOUGH TO REQUIRE AN UPGRADE TO 850 WATTS?

NICE COMMENTS, BTW!

THANK YOU!

For what it is worth I have a system built as:
11600K
16GB of 3000 Corsair DDR4
Reference 3070
Corsair RM750x

I have it on a 1080/120 screen and in high-highest settings I am seeing north of 75 FPS in almost everything I play. I would have to go double check on BG3 as I am pretty sure I have to turn on some frame gen on that one, and I know I do with CP77 to maintain a solid North of 60FPS experience without having hard dips. Division 2 runs ~90 FPS at highest, some of the older Clancy titles just stay at 120, the older Sniper series games and so on as well.

I think the 9900K and 11600K are at least in the same ballpark of performance. I am seeing between 1-10% difference in a super precursory search. I know those 9th gen K i9 are heavy drinkers though...

Thank you so much! At least my hoped for performance is within reason.

Based on that video link you sent and your advice, I cancelled my order for the Corsair SF750 and ordered a

Lian-Li SP850. Saved a few bucks in the process, too!​

Thanks again,

Larry
