Processor For 1070?

[Kyle_78]

Im planning to upgrade from a 970 to this

https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GAMING-GTX-1070-8G/dp/B01GXOX3SW?th=1

My question is, will the processor I have now bottleneck with it?

Specs:

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4690K CPU @ 3.50GHz

RAM 24 GB

The i5-4690k is capable of fully supporting the GTX 1070 at 1080p.

Edit: If you're interested in looking at a rough guide to CPU/ GPU bottlenecks I recommend looking at the Tom's thread "Ultimate Bottlenecking Guide". As you can see, there is only a minimal chance of bottleneck with the 1070 + 4690k on the most demanding games, and that will be at resolutions higher than 1080p.

In summary: That is still a very good pairing of CPU + GPU
