Will this bottleneck way too much?

GiveMeI7plz · Dec 9, 2016

I currently have a pentium g3260 and am thinking of upgrading my GPU to a gtx 1070 AND then saving up more money to switch to Kaby Lake.

Will a gtx 1070 get bottlenecked by a g3260 pentium way too much?

My current gpu is gtx 960 2 gb

Waay too much? No.

There will be bottleneck no doubts, but won't be really noticeable unless you're playing high CPU-Heavy games like BF1.
Your CPU is still somewhat decent, check this:

Therefore, everything else should run smoothly in 1080p.

Too much? No.

Noticeable bottleneck that will likely affect game performance (significantly in some games like BF1 or GoW4) yes definitely.

it's gonna bottleneck it for sure. i had a haswell pentium with an hd 7970 and i "upgraded" to an ivy bridge i5 and it was noticably better in almost all games. and we're talking about a haswell pentium with a gtx 1070 here...

i remember far cry 4 jumping up about 30fps going from the pentium to an older i5. it ain't gonna be great

i'd put that money towards a new CPU instead. the gtx 960 is still decent.
