Will i5 3570k CPU Bottleneck the GTX 1070?

RohiTechnique · May 17, 2016

Im planning on buying the new graphics card once it releases, but will my cpu be able to handle it?

BadActor · May 17, 2016

If Nvidia's claims that the card is on par with the GTX 980 Ti are true, not likely to be a bottleneck.

dangus · May 17, 2016

yes please upgrade to 6700k plz.

dangus :

ignore this comment lol. your fine, odds are(my guess) it will perform close to or a little slower than the 980ti. your good to go in most games without any issue, even then if there is a problem it will be minimal

dangus · May 17, 2016

6950x is out soon which is the only cpu fast enough to game at a resoonable frame rrate. More core is way better than faster cpu so maybe you need a 6-core at least. Amd 8350 is about the best cpu can get under $550

dangus :

your trolling right? answer honestly or else you need to get reported

dangus · May 17, 2016

Amd is not as bad as people say unless were talking about intel which is the only other company able to challenge amd in the cpu arena for games but frame rate isnt everything frame time matters way more but its wicked gard to get an fcat machine so it doesnt matter to most people. Main point: get amd for faster games with less money

For gaming, a lowly i3 6100 will outperform an FX 8350 in all but a handful of games, and even then, it's very close. It's cheaper, more efficient, and has upgrade potentional where the FX doesn't.

ummmmm. come again? what!

PatrioticPickle · May 17, 2016

dangus :

It absolutely will not bottleneck, a 3570k with a bit of overclock is equivelent to a 4690k which is still brand new selling, current high end gaming CPU which in itself is close to the 6600k also.

You will be totally fine. It will handle any GPU, it still has 4 quite fast cores. A 2nd gen not overclocked might see some loss in performance. But not a 3570k

PatrioticPickle :

Thank you for your answer, I think I will just keep the CPU and upgrade my GPU, this will save me lots of money

dangus · May 17, 2016

Hmmm maybe ur right but that what my bud says. Youre gonna report me for not speaking honestly? Please dont maybe we should do some benchmarks and see I guess?

k1114 · May 17, 2016

You were just telling someone to do some research and apparently you need to. 6950x is broadwell so will be less ipc than current skylake and the extra cores aren't going to help. I'll even use my 2500k with a 1080 because it's not going to be a bottleneck with it oced. Amd maybe cheap, but it's 5 years old and if you want something that old, buy used and a 2600k of the same era is better.

dangus · May 17, 2016

Hard to say since no one knows how the gts 1070 will oc on air might be fine but who knows. Ill wait for the founders edition benchmarks to tell the rel story

dangus · May 17, 2016

Less 16mil transistors to oc vs 1080 so it may not be as good. Even tho 1080 OCs to 2000+....doesnt touch new cpus which oc farrrr past that we are talking 4gjz and beyond

dangus · May 17, 2016

Its all nvidia holding there cards close waiting to pounce on amd and put em outta business

k1114 · May 17, 2016

We're talking about cpus and you misunderstood the oc part. Gpu ocing won't matter, the cpu will handle it all even sli. Amd is doing fine in the gpu arena, nvidia is not holding all the cards.

dangus · May 17, 2016

Not really sense everyone knows nvidia basically is nerfing SLI. common knowledge

gokitty199 · May 17, 2016

dangus :

what. the. heck. are. you. saying. and. are. you. serious.

k1114 · May 17, 2016

Ditto. All his posts are giving me cancer.

dangus · May 17, 2016

Nvidia already put amd almost outta business once. The 1080 is just their shiny new nail for the coffin they plan for amd. Aint got no idea what polaris or zen are packing tho so might be quite the surprise for nvidia

glad to help you out bud!
