I have been reading some threads about bottlenecking. Especially the ones about an FX 8350 bottlenecking the GTX 1070. I still couldn't figure out an answer to my question.
I can only game at 1080p for the moment and not really interested in gaming at 4K, I prefer 1080 at 144hz as I prefer fluency in games than exaggerated resolutions. 1080p is good enough. So that being said, my games will always run at 1080 not 1440p or 4k. Which logically should get me more FPS..
QUESTION:
I'm thinking about upgrading from a 970GTX to an 1070GTX, with my CPU being an FX8350.
Now, I know it's gonna bottleneck it, which means I'm not gonna be able to have the full FPS that a 1070 can provide, but my question is, WILL I get a (significant) FPS increase or will I stay in the same range as a 970GTX (due to my fx8350)? Is it possible that I get worse FPS? ( I read some people did so..).
The plan is to get as much FPS as possible staying on 1080p, as I have a 144hz screen on which I'd like to see these 60+ FPS (fluency!). Ofcourse games maxed out, maybe a few configurations to get it at min. 60FPS, a few FPS drops are okay as it happens in all games..
I play games like BF4, Witcher 3, MAFIAIII (soon ^^), GTA V, Attilla RTW, Shadow of mordor, probably more to come 0_°
Thanks for your time, and thanks for an opinion.
Kind regards
