[SOLVED] Would a RTX 2060 have any conflict with an i7-4790k?

Hello,

So I was considering upgrading to a new graphics card and I had my eye on the rtx 2060 for price and from my perspective a decent performance. or maybe 1070/1070 ti.

However since I have a 4th gen i7 I was thinking would there be potential bottlenecking issues? I am not an expert on bottle necking but it's just in theory would this be a problem? Or is there something that might be better for value?

My kind of goal is to be able to run newer games at more solid framerate as well as running at suitable quality of maybe High/Very High/Ultra at 1080p because there is some games that tend to stutter alot like Black Ops 4 personally, and Hitman 2.

System Specs:
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790k
RAM: 16 GB, DDR3 Kingston 1600 mhz
GPU: Nvidia Gigabyte GTX 1060
Case: NZXT H500i
SSD: Crucial MX200 250GB
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB WD1001
HDD2: Seagate 1TB ST1001

For reference, your 4790k and my 6700k have a really similar performance, and I am using my 6700k at stock speeds with a 1070 and getting no bottleneck when playing very CPU demanding games at 1080p like Battlefield 1. In rare cases the CPU was about to reach the 100% but also was the GPU so I've never really seen the 1070 being bottlenecked.

The 2060 is fairly more powerful than the 1070 but CoDs aren't CPU intensive and Hitman 2 doesn't look to perform much better with a newer CPU or one with more cores or threads as you can see in the GameGPU analysis:

Overclock that 4790k and enjoy the 2060.

That website is all russian.

Yeah I just boosted my cpu's clock and i think its done abit of a positive performance boost. I think maybe Hitman 2 is just another "meh" port if you understand what I mean.

Black Ops 4 on the other hand runs pretty well.

I just want to be able to achieve ultra settings with little stutter. Your solution was pretty good though thanks for that!
