Hey i have a 4670k. Worst overclocking card I have. Really can't push it to anything stable.

Would a 1080ti be good with it to game @4k or is the processor just too old now?



I have a 4k 65inch Tv. hoping to play at 60fps or ultrawide custom resolution 60fps.
 
Hello Aaron, I'm thinking of running two 1080 Ti cards on my 4670k processor and I'm also concerned about it although I spoke to ** No Competitors ** recently and they said I shouldn't have any problems which I don't think is entirely true.

I have a i5 4670k, I was using a 770 GTX with a 1920x1080 60Hz screen, then upgraded to a 3440x1440 100Hz screen, so I upgraded to a 1080 Ti and everything now just runs so smooth. Don't know if the i5 is bottlenecking the 1080.
Still, I'll be upgrading everything except the GPU during this Novembers black Friday sales week. Not sure yet which CPU to get, was going to get either the Ryzen 1700x or i7 7820k but the i7 7700k is kind of raping them in the gaming benchmarks.
 
I honest don't believe an 4670k can bottleneck an 1080ti. But somebody else on here with more better knowledge than me on that front can correct me.
 
As said above , for 98% of games the cpu wont bottleneck the 1080ti. The release of Ryzen has gotten everyone into a tizz and now in the last few months the i5 range is suddenly no longer a viable gaming cpu ????? so unless you only play BF1 or just want a cpu with upteen cores to help you sleep better at night keep what you have and enjoy :)
 
at 4k it should be okay. at 1080p it would bottleneck a single 1080ti heavily in modern AAA games and some older ones like crysis 3 or bf4.

2500k @4.8 bottlenecks 980 in some games at 1080p (bf1, watch dogs 2, deus ex, dishonored 2, tw:warhammer, wildlands, ac:unity and syndicate etc) so similar to poster above with 3570k bottlenecking a 970 at 1080p.
 
4K at 60fps isn't as CPU dependant as 1440p at 144 fps for instance as the extra resolution pushes the GPU a lot more than the CPU, it's extra fps that pushes both the CPU & GPU.

If you can hit 60fps at 1080p chances are your CPU won't bottleneck at 4K(but still possible), but the GPU might, even the 1080ti isn't 100% full proof 60fps at 4K. :)
