I am planning to upgrade my CPU because i bought a 3070 and i dont know if the 14600kf will bottleneck more than the 13600k.

In my country the 14600kf is cheaper than the 13600k but im scared that the 14th gen will be too powerfull for my 3070

Thoughts?

    Try to shift the word “bottleneck” more to the back of your thoughts. It’s not that necessary as you maybe think. Especially not in this case. Here the GPU is more likely to “bottleneck” the CPU but I would say think about it if you have a 1660… . Does not make any difference if you take the 13 or 14 here… go with the one you want to.

      Yes! Something will always be a bottleneck in a given scenario.

      If your current CPU is too weak for what you’re trying to achieve and you have the money, then go for it!

      I am in the same boat, but I have convinced myself that I don’t really need a 13th/14th gen because my OC’d 7700k is still enough for me. And upgrading would cost me around 550€, which is a lot for me
