GPU Upgrade Advice please.

Is your current PC a PC built by PC Specialist?

You do know your cpu would be hugely bottlneckdd if u go with anything like a 3070

[elder edge]

Not necessarily, if the game if GPU bound, say running at 1440, then the CPU won't be a bottleneck

[lone vessel]

Yeah but with most games

I had a 9700k and 3070 for a while, worked perfectly fine

Yeah, I’m not sure the cpu would be a bottleneck unless you’re playing low settings 1080. But why upgrade GPU to do that

Hi all, thanks for the responses… the games I would be playing would be mainly Call of Duty, Apex Legends, PUBG, Warzone etc if any of that helps?

[lone epoch]

it is not a PCS build 🙂

9700K is faster than a 3600. So sure, not the fastest CPU but will still more than do the job. Especially at higher resolutions

Rule #7

[pearl jewel]

Have a feeling this thread will be Rule 7’d (no assistance with self builds or pc’s from other companies) but would still be happy to help if you wanna shoot me a DM!

oh, sorry i did not know that was a rule
