I've been recently thinking of upgrading my graphics card, currently a GTX 770 2GB, to a 1080Ti. However I'm unsure if my current CPU will bottleneck it.

My current CPU is a i7-4770 @ 3.40GHz.

Thanks for any help!

well , well the 4770 top score single card is better then the newest 7700 with a 1080 ti


time spy dx 12 [ Number of GPUs = 1 single card scores]...

It will be good for most games and "ok" for all others. That is a powerful CPU and most games are more GPU bound than CPU. If you like to play modified games like Fallout 4 or Skyrim, then your CPU will choke a little if you get too fancy with the mods.

I'd just game on and not worry about until it becomes a problem for you.

1080p firestrike run takes a little hit

http://www.3dmark.com/search#/?mode=advanced&url=/proxycon/ajax/search/cpugpu/fs/P/1609/1127/18850?minScore=7600&cpuName=Intel Core i7-4770&gpuName=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti

seems that's due to the 7700 is stock at Intel Core i7-7700 (3,600 MHz ] not lower the a 4770 at stock (3,400 MHz) and then the 7700 result the 1080ti is overclocked more then the card in the 4770 result ,so ??? ya it going to be a bit better score

nothing I'd be worried about seems like you would have a good combo




your not hurting one bit with that 4770

Are you saying the 4770 is superior to the 7770 based on a single benchmark?
If so you are sadly misinformed.

Are you saying the 3dmark is a reliable predictor of in game performance?
If so you are sadly misinformed..

The 7770 is not the final answer for every scenario either. Should I cherry pick some useless benchmark like you? How about multi-core floating point operations where the 4770 is 21% slower. That is every bit as much of a rubbish benchmark as yours. The difference is I'm not trying to fool anyone in to believing something like a 4 year old CPU is faster than a just released model.

It remains as I said in "most" games the 4770 will do good, in most others it will do ok.

Ok, thank you guys for all the information. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing more harm than good. I'll eventually upgrade the CPU down the road, but my Graphics department is lacking at the moment. Good to know I'll be ok.

Thanks again!

I guess if you want to cherry pick what ever you want on the cpu ? maybe you prefer a 1000% 2011 cpu?? then when you take away the cpu and look at the '' graphics part you see the card is doing the same work

http://www.3dmark.com/search#/?mode=advanced&url=/proxycon/ajax/search/cpugpu/spy/P/2093/1127/500000?minScore=0&cpuName=Intel Core i7-6850K

here top score with a $600 Intel Core i7-6850K Graphics Score 10 884 time spy dx12

and his Graphics Score 10 526

so his 300$ 4770 with a 1080ti holds near the same graphics score ?? now what ??? maybe that mangy 250 points is a bottle neck of his 4770 ?? lol .....

heres a 2 grand Intel Core i7-4960X overclocked to 4,798 MHz with a 1080 ti . what ?? Graphics Score 10 845 ?????

so is his cpu bottelinecking the card ?? nope

and don't forget hes got a NON K cpu so now you got to eliminate the cpu overclocking too boot ....

cherry pick what you want 3dmark got nice advanced search to pick a wad of CPUs to compare with a 1080 ti
