will my core I5 bottleneck two gtx 1070s?

[Ola1312]

I have a intel core i5-7200U processor and i am planning to buy two gtx 1070s. Will the cpu bottleneck the graphicscards?

Firstly the i5-7200U is a laptop CPU.... secondly 2x GTX 1070 is a very poor choice when you could probably get a GTX 1080 Ti instead and avoid hassles with SLI and higher power usage/temps with running multiple cards as opposed to one more powerful. I suggest you please elaborate a bit more on your question.

where did you find a desktop class i5 7200U? That's a laptop processor, IDK how this question adds up

I have a intel i5-7400 kaby lake processor and i am planning to buy two gtx 1070s. Will this cpu bottleneck the graphicscards?

It depends on which games you plan on playing. But in your position, I would proceed with upgrading GPUs. One question: Why two GTX 1070s? A single GTX 1080 Ti would be slightly cheaper, and a more effective solution.

Also what fps are you aiming for? 60fps at 4k Id expect any bottleneck to be small but >100 fps at 1080p or 1440p I would expect a far more significant bottleneck.

Ola1312 - - Please do not create two threads for the same question - - once is enough!

I suggest you buy an i7 7600k or a 7700k. With an i7 you will definitely see a lot of FPS increase.
