Will the intel core i3 6100t bottleneck the gtx 1070?(windforce to be specific)

Bottlewage · Mar 3, 2017

Its 3.20 ghz.

Yes, it will bottleneck it in cpu intensive games. If you reduce shadow quality in game, it should help a lot with a bottleneck.

James Mason · Mar 3, 2017

Probably.
A 960 is the most you'd want to pair with your CPU.

Bottlewage :

Yes, yes it will. Especially in newer games that tend to utilize CPU a bit.

A more balanced system would be an i5 with a 1060 6gb version.

I'd recommend saving your money for a while. You will definitely see a bottleneck in some processor intensive games, however it all depends on the games that you play. I'd recommend you wait it out a bit longer and get a Core I5.

i do have the money for a new processor. what do you think i should get?

Bottlewage · Mar 3, 2017

Trafalgar747 :

thanks, but what could be paired with the gtx 1070?

Bottlewage · Mar 3, 2017

greens :

id rather with a 1070, considering that it has 3 fans(the windforce g1 version).

here is my computer.HP Slimline Desktop - 260-p009 (ENERGY STAR).

The Intel Core I7 you listed doesn't come with a CPU cooler and also I could be wrong but that HP you sent a link to looks like a low profile design so I doubt that graphics card will fit. Not only that but OEMs tend to put lower wattage power supply's in their computers. A simple look at the inside the case and the sticker on the power supply will give you all the information you need. I'd also say go with the I5 or maybe update your bios and get a Kaby Lake I5

What sort of budget do you have? Also just to check, what CPU do you currently have?

1500$, but i can go higher. thats just what im hoping for. and, i have a intel core i3 6100t processor 6th gen. its in the title.

Bottlewage · Mar 3, 2017

one thing to say, does the ram between the mother board and the card have to be the same? im also getting a sharkoon red case.. so idk what motherboard to get...but thats another question.

I had a quick look around on PC part picker and came up with a decent build for $1499.78. https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/mzyQgL
