Hi!
I was wondering if my I5-11400F would handle the RTX 4070 / 4070 Ti or not.

I see people with the I5-11400F having an RTX 3090 or even an RTX 4090 with no issues.
If I buy an RTX 4070/4070 Ti, then should I upgrade my CPU too or not?
I mostly play GPU intensive games and kinda rarely both CPU&GPU intensive games.

I also rarely play CPU intensive games such as Valorant, but 300-410 fps enough for me.


OS: Windows 11
CPU: I5-11400F
PSU: be quiet! System Power 9 CM 700W - (Bought it 8 months ago, was new)
SSD: Samsung MZVLQ512HALU-000H1 512GB
MOBO: Asus TUF GAMING B560M-PLUS WIFI
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB (2018)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3600 C18 2x16GB

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

PSU: make, model, wattage, age, condition (original to build, new, refurbished, used)?

Disk drive(s): make, model, capacity, how full?

Overall, "handle" may be more of a power concern.

The PSU must be capable of handling sudden and high peaks in power demand.

The entire build needs to be considered.

I updated the post, there are the specs.

the Be quiet pure power 9 is not ATX 3.0 nor is it a good power supply.

You would ideally need a Tier A model with ATX 3.0 spec

Well, thank you!

So there is no way that that GPU would run with this PSU?
 
Lucky_SLS said:
the 4070 can trip the PC if the power draw is high.

the RTX 3000 and 4000 series have transient power draw that is upto 200% of the rated GPU power draw.

so a 4070 can pull 400 to 450W for short durations and that can trip the PSU if its not capable.

Okay, thank you again!

Which Tier A PSU do you recommend?
A modular one would be great, but also a cheap one
I don't think I can sell this PSU, which I have right now, so I don't know how I'll do it.

Your CPU is performant enough at higher res. So 1440p or above. At 1080p your CPU will not feed the GPU as quickly as newer CPU's. But if you are getting 150fps with your current CPU at 1080p, then it's fine for your needs. I'd be more concerned if the games were stuttering than worrying about some perceived bottleneck.

It may not get him 500fps at 1080p but my guess is that 300fps at 1080p is sufficient for his task.

Hello again!
My question is, out of all the GPUs out there from AMD and NVIDIA, which "best" GPU would go well with my PSU?
I know that the RTX 30 and 40 Series GPUs are not an option, but for example, which best AMD GPU would go well with my PSU?

I would have thought that you might have saved an extra 100 quid for a new PSU by now.

For long term, i would suggest going for the 7900GRE and any of the 850W PSU listed above.

If you want ray tracing performance, a 4070 super is more than enough for your 1080p monitor.
