[SOLVED] Will i7 8700k bottleneck amd 6750xt?

[Psycho381]

I have i7 8700k cpu and I am soon upgrading to RX 6750 XT, Will there be any bottleneck? If so will there be noticeable difference in perfomance/fps. Don'f feel like spending on a new cpu for few fps loss.

well it will bottleneck it a little , but not to a degree to make the upgrade pointless .
here is a comparison with rtx 3070 (this card performs virtually identical to 6750xt)
https://www.cpuagent.com/cpu/intel-...k/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3070?res=1&quality=ultra
(as you can see bottleneck is only around 15% on average , of course it varies depending on the game you play but it´s not too bad)
also keep in mind this is 1080p , if you are using higher resolution the bottleneck will be negligible .

Thanks for the reply!
Forgot to mention that I am upgrading from 1070ti, so as you said, imo the upgrade would not be pointless.

yes , you can go for it , you will see a big improvement in framerates over gtx 1070Ti .
