Hello

Will an I5 7600K bottleneck gtx1070, 1080p, 144hz monitor, ultra settings (in game), & possible VR realted games (all at 60+ fps)

I've already bought the I5 but I feel like this will put alot of pressure on the cpu to get all this at 60+ fps. If anyone has a similer set up & and shared their results here thanks in advance!
 
Solution
You should be fine at 60 fps. But if you want to utilize the 144hz monitor and strive for 140+ fps, there will likely be some bottleneck. Back a gen ago, the Haswell i5 was known to bottleneck at those frame rates. Now, whether or not the Kaby Lake quad core has made enough improvement, I'm not sure. But I doubt it.
