Will I7 6700k bottleneck RTX2080(not TI)?

[darkcookie]

I want to upgrade my pc with brand new RTX2080, is my CPU is ok for this GPU, or should I upgrade it too?

We cant tell how powerfull 2080 or any of the other gpus are going to be until their got officially released.
Keep and Eye on the Youtube Channel "Hardware Unboxed" withing 1-2 Days after release he should start to smash out a lot of content about RTX20XX Series with different CPUs and many more stuff.

The RTX 2080 is, according to Nvidia tests, around a 30-40% more powerful than a 1080, and a 6700k at stock speeds is pretty paired with a 1070 in CPU intensive games like Battlefield V or Watch Dogs 2. The bottleneck will be pretty noticeable at stocks speeds but would be little with a medium overclock.

Games are written differently.
Your I7 6700k will not be a bottleneck for the coming RTX2080 (no matter how fast it really is/will be) on most of new AAA games but it should be a bottleneck on several processor heavy AAA games.
The bottleneck should be relatively not a big problem yet, especially under OC.
I see no real upgrade need yet for I7 6700k.

I hope you are right!
My 6700k is sitting at 4.5Ghz at 1.29V for close to 2 years.
I can get it stable at 4.6Ghz at 1.38V but 4.7Ghz requires 1.47-1.48V and I'm not happy with that.

Hopefully a rock solid 4.5Ghz is good enough.

Itll be fine, theres no CPU thats significantly faster in games than the 6700k. Both the 7700k and 8700k are only a very small margin faster in games.

yea true for gaming *UNLESS you need more than 4 cores ;/ for productivity and stuff xD' tbh an i7 3770 is still revealant now for gaming but productivity wise its ofc slower than the newer gens
