Will i5-4460 bottleneck gtx 1070ti?

[eduard.kubelik.mla]

Hi!

Iam planning to upgrade my gpu from GTX 960 2GB to GTX 1070ti (maybe next gen gpu)
and Iam worried tha my cpu (i5-4460) will bottleneck it (Iam only going to be playing at 1080p 60fps)and if it will..what will be better cpu for it? Iam thinking about i5-4690.
thanks for any help.

PS: If there are any mistakes than Iam sorry eng is my 2nd language

I think it will bottleneck it a little but I don't think it will prevent you from playing games at 1080p on max settings.

If it were me, I'd hold off on the CPU. I don't think you need it.....yet.....anyway.

At 1080p/60Hz, there's probably going to be some situations where the 4460 holds back a 1070TI some.
For that resolution though, a 1070TI is probably overkill in most situations. Something in a 6GB 1060 territory or maybe a 1070 would be more suited.
Of course, if you can find the TI for a good deal, then there's no harm.

An upgrade to an i7-4770/4790 (or K's) would be solid options. And upgrade 4460-4690 would be a waste of money.

Do not upgrade an i5 to another i5 of the same generation, go for the i7 if you do upgrade.
