GTX 1070 Ti vs RTX 2070 and bottlenecking

stealth1304 · Sep 24, 2018

So I am thinking about upgrading my GTX 760s to a GTX 1070 Ti or RTX 2070. I am expecting them to run about the same speed but am concerned about bottle necking on something else, thoughts? I am upgrading to a 2560x1440 60Hz monitor and the common games I play are Insurgency: Sandstorm, War Thunder, World of Tanks, World of Warships, and Destiny 2.

CPU: Intel Core i5-4670 overclocked to 4.0 GHz

Memory: 16GB DDR3 1600

Storage: 1TB Samsung Evo 850

Video Card: GTX 1070 Ti or RTX 2070

No reviews for the RTX 2070 so any advice we give you is a guess.

Is that the K version of the CPU? If not how did you OC it to 4ghz?

Price to performance the 1070 ti may be better but yup, still a guess.

rtx 2070 will be overkill for 1440p 60hz gaming. The i5 should do fine for another couple years or so before it starts to bottleneck the system

Would a GTX 1070 Ti be overkill or should I save my money and get a GTX 1070 or GTX 1060?

What games will you be playing? AAA games would definitely not be overkill for the 1070ti but games like CSGO or LoL will 100% be overkill.

Overkill is based on today. If you,plan to keep the GPU for 3+ years I would get a 1080

I think the GTX 1070 ti will be required for these games at a consistent 60-fps. GTX 1070 ti will futureproof your system for probably 3 or 4 years.

stealth1304 · Sep 24, 2018

The GTX 1080 is only slightly better performing than the GTX 1070 Ti and value wise the GTX 1070 Ti is better.

You can OC the 1070ti to match performance with the gtx 1080.

2070 performance is unknown. I would wait until the test are up.
For 1440p 60Hz, GTX1070-1080 is the recommended, if you wanna max out games.
If you aim for 1440p 144/165Hz, 1080ti or better is your only option.
I5 4xxx can still serve you well with some small bottlenecking on some new proc heavy AAA games. I would not worry about your I5 4xxx yet.
Buying 1070, 1070ti and 1080 is a bit tricky since the price is overlapping. You need to do your homework well before buying.
Rough performance guide:
1080 > 1070ti >1070
115% > 107%> 100%
Pick the best priced one or wait and see how 2070 performs

What argument is there to say you can overclock a,1070ti To match a 1080 as if the 1080 can't overclock as well? Any of,the cards will work but to act like a 1080 has no value over a 1070ti is just wrong.

Im pretty sure the RTX 2070 will be equal to a GTX 1080 like RTX 2080 is equal to 1080 Ti.
As for bottleneck you will notice it in 1080p, a bit at 1440p but not as much in 4K.
