well i guess that the gtx 1070 is more than enough to choke any i5 right now in the market perhaps you dont believe me, but i am experiencing it myself i bought a i5 7400 and a gigabyte gtx 1070, in 144 hz gaming the cpu seems to choke in games like hitman gta 5 rise of tombraider and almost everyother games.
the witcher 3 is unplayable with lag spikes and AC Syndicate too. remember that i am talking about 144 hz, 1080p gaming. some of the youtube channels are trying to warn us a lot. please see their videos, its open proof. i suggest nothing less than an 17 7700k for the 144hz 170 or 1080 gaming. 1070 should blow the roofs off the modern day titles but it never reaches the 90% gpu utilization its mainly between 60 to 70 % and i guess in hitman it is in the 40s!! maan seriously. the case is the same with the i5 6800k and the haswell processors, with cpu usage reaching 100% and choking. this is an open discussion i request everyone to give their opinion about. i guess the next gen gpu's the 11 series or whatever will blow the shit away for the mid range and maybe even the high end cpus, even with dx12 enabled.
