Best GPU for a 4770k without waste?

[413x]

Looking to play some new games. But I believe I'm near the end of life of my PC.

Ie where a new GPU (for example) will be bottlenecked by cpu etc.


I have a z87 + 4770k

What's the best GPU that isn't wasted on this? As I do not want to spend loads for new everything

So currently have a 1070.

And I don't really game much. But I love DnD and was thinking of picking up BG3.

My monitor is 1440 ultrawide.

Can't remember if it's 100 or 60hz

Edit
Monitor is 100hz and free sync not G sync

I don't believe it's possible to upgrade a 4770k much is it? Isn't the max like 4790k?

What are the amd equivalents?

So it's not worth going to a 1080ti?

I'm so out of the loop I have no idea tbh!

just sell some shares and buy a whole new pc, weird to upgrade only part of it imo

I don't want to spend much as its only one game.

It may just be better to drop to 60hz/lower resolution and stick with 1070?

Or is a 1080ti worth it?

Even the 300 pound gpus are pushing the limit.
Well. Let's say after selling the 1070 I'd rather not spend 100+

Yep and there's no point to that move - just overclock your 4770k


It should still be fine - it's in a similar ballpark to the 3060, 3070 or 6700xt that have been mentioned

Thanks for the info!

1070 to 1080ti is terrible value.
if you aren't going full pc route just don't play the game.
try backpack battles instead, you'll like that:

Backpack Battles on Steam

A PvP inventory management auto battler! Buy and craft powerful items, then carefully arrange them in your backpack.

Surely "just don't play the game" is a little dramatic?
Even dropping the resolution would be better than this?

Utterly pointless change, the 4790K is just a refreshed 4770K, there's barely any difference between them and a huge second hand cost for what they are.

@OP: OC your CPU if you can, it's capable enough for a 6700XT class card.

I'll reiterate: Hit up the MM, I sold a 3060ti (the Nvidia competitor to the 6700XT) on there not so long ago with a couple of years warranty left for £215.

There are good deals to be had that would give you a lot of uplift.

Yeah I'm happy to oc the cpu. I believe it was at 3.9 before some reset ages ago. But I never needed it.


Yeah 215 ish is what I was hoping for.
I suspect the 1070 has some value too

Just perused the mm and does look like the 6700xt/3060ti are in what I hope to pay.

And probably the last upgrade for this PC. (possibly my last ever upgrade tbh)

I'll have a look at comparisons etc but this seems thr be the best bang for buck before getting into the "new system" which would blow my budget out of the water.

Thanks a lot all

Seen some BG3 benches. And on a non cpu limited (I assume) benchmark it looks like a 6700xt/3060ti would net 30-35 average fps above 1070

That would take me over 60fps.

Thats absolutely fine for a game like BG3
