Will I be able to run Rainbow Six Siege at 144hz with these specs?

[bilal_619]

Hey guys, thinking about upgrading to a 144hz monitor, but I don't want to take the risk if I can't run Siege at this fps. Current specs:
-Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4460 CPU @ 3.20GHz
-GeForce GTX 970
-8gb RAM

looks like ~100 fps, I will stick to 60hz or 75hz if price is close.

Thanks, bud. I decided to go ahead a build a new PC instead. I'll wait to see if the GPU drops in price before I start to buy the parts, but this is a mock-up of what I'll probably be going with. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/dMf8TB.

D15 is overkill
Krait MB is a no no, bad quality
3200 ram is recommended
that gpu price is already very good, here in US, $1300...

No, you will not be able to reach 144 and other then that, your gpu is way to powerful to handle cpu, you will have bottleneck issues https://image.prntscr.com/image/-J885D6tS4mrrgS_iMbzZA.jpeg

A 970 with an i5 is fine, maybe a little bottle necking depending on the resolution and settings, but hes fine like this. I've seen people run slower i3's and a 1060 and be perfectly fine with no bottlenecking

1080Ti requires 600W minimum! There is even info on box of card where they say this, you got to be kidding with 550w right?

Well the supernova is probably fine if he's not overclocking but its definitely not recommended to use it. 600w should be the minimum I recommend a 750w is your doing any overclocking

Please know the diff between recommended and required.

8600k power draw in gaming is <100W:

1080ti power draw in gaming is < 300W:

Unless you intentionally want to destroy your rig and torture CPU and GPU to max at the same time, 550 is more than enough.

 

[jacobweaver800]

an 8600k and a 1080ti overclocked, With a good overclock, can pull over 600w depending on how you weighted your clocks

did you not look at the chart I posted? 8600k @ 4.9 in game still pulls less than 100W,
extreme OC 1080ti <340W
Can you explain the 600W?

total power draw is about 500w or higher depending on the voltages used. Just because it only pulls 500w doesn't mean you can get a 500w psu and be fine, most powersupplies can only output there rated wattages at around 70% ussage and it goes down slightly on higher usage due to the efficiency curve of said PSU. Its always safe to have around 100 or more "spare watts" on your PSU, in case you upgrade later and to keep the usage around 70% will have the greatest efficiency.

500? Nope, ~400 is normal draw even with overclocking. 450 at most I will say. 80% is good running level, not sure where you get the 70%.

Every PSU is different ones ive seen work best at 70% also yeah if your pushing 5Jigawhats on the CPU with a high voltage and your maxxing the GPU with a high voltage it can push close to 500 or more.
