Hi,
So, my current spec is core i5 6600k @ 4.4ghz, 16gb DDR4 and an MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X, running on a Asus 144hz monitor.
I want to upgrade my GPU to an EVGA 2080 and in researching this I am reading conflicts? Some say that there would be a huge bottleneck due to my CPU whilst others state that there wouldn't be that much of a problem, all depending on the individual games but, that there would still be a sizeable improvement!?
In other words, I'm confused as I dont really want the hassle of a mobo and CPU upgrade I'd much rather swap out my GPU like I am used to, and getting those FPS improved!!!
Is anyone who has potentially been in this situation offer their thoughts please? As I obviously do not wish to drop 750 or more on a new card if, theres not going to be a significant improvement or worse still, a drop in performance!?
Many thanks!!!
