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?
choosing powerful cpu mostly useful , if you need that for your purpose…
(very lower cpu + higher end gpu will create most of the bottleneck issues)
and 13600k (k version) have igpu, so add some value for it then compare price (14600kf and 13600k performance are almost similar, i think)
i tried some bottleneck calculators and all of them said that i have a 32% bottleneck from a 14600kf paired with a 3070 on 1080p
no,.
dont use those calculaters is not work in realtime…
firstly, are you looking for specific task ? like for single game?
if you join 14600kf + 3070 ;
in most of game (cpu use 50-70% usage and gpu usage 99%);
in some cpu intensive games (like cs2, city skyline , cyberpunk 2.0 ) (cpu use 90-100% and gpu use 40-100% depends upon the graphics settings);
when you consider bottleneck issue is ,. your cpu is not enough to use 99% of gpu in many games ,…
so considering bottleneck for this items is pointless
i finally bought the i5 14600kf and i ll pair it with my 3070 with a z690 gaming x board with 16gb ram, whaddya think?
