I went from 8700k + 1080 Ti to 8700k + 6950XT. Lots of games that struggled at 3440x1440 had huge performance jumps, while others that were particularly CPU heavy changed very little. The 8700k is still far more than enough for 99% of the games out there, but BF2042 for example is very clearly held back by the CPU.

Jul 5, 2023 · that depends on your understanding. while not technically incompatible, that will ensure the CPU is bottle-necking your system. so games will stutter and hang while the cpu struggles to keep up with the video card. consequently you video card will be under utilized while it waits on the cpu.

My current i7 8700k / 3080 hybrid build with 3200mhz CL14 ram is still in the top 12% for what 3DMark (all benches) classifies as "High end 2022 Gaming builds" As of this week I've bought a new motherboard, CPU AIO, Ram and power supply because I intend on …

Dec 18, 2022 · Everything else is unexistant trash. 8700k is still a pretty capable cpu but it's time to rest, 10gen is still holding firmly. 11gen never existed, whomever designed 11gen commited heresy of the highest order and should get bitten by squirrels and their dog always poop inside the home in places that will leave them confused.

I had a 8700k 1080ti, that combo will probably go down in my history as greatest build ever. Finally upgraded to 7800x3d and 7900xtx. The performance is triple. But part of me will miss that 8700k 1080ti, such a fighter. But new pc is an absolute beast.

Jun 26, 2021 · I wanted to post this for anyone else looking to see if their i7-8700K processor will run Windows 11 due to the TPM 2.0 requirement. I know the 8700k was and still is a very popular processor. First, I realized that TPM 2.0 is not a chip itself but a specification for a chip standard. That means each processor company (Intel, AMD, ect.)

Oct 12, 2022 · To the extend yes there is some videos of 8700k being bottle neck at 1440p on YouTube with 30xx cards already but we are talking small numbers like 5% difference. I am in similar situation to you. I don't think it's worth upgrading 8700k now when in 2 years you will likely get new processors and ddr5 at sensible prices.

Sep 2, 2020 · For reference, my overclocked 5820k performs similar to a stock 8700k (minus temps, 5820k runs much hotter than a stock 8700k lol). Most all of my games I play only utilize 20-25% of my CPU when paired with an OC 1080, while gaming in 3440x1440. For reference here, benchmarks show at least a 100% improvement over the 1080 in pretty much every game.

8700k will be a bottleneck at 4K with the 4080 Super in a few games but should be fine for most. I had one with a 3080 for a couple years and the only game I remember the 8700k being the issue in was Star Wars Jedi Survivor. Upgraded to a 7800X3D and my framerate improved dramatically in that game, especially 1% lows.

My original system was ASUS Prime Z390-A w/ 16GB DDR4, iat 3200 MHz, 7-8700K (delidded/overclocked at 5.0GHz) RTX 2060. I later upgraded to ASUS Strix Z690-A D4 w/ 32GB DDR4 @ 4000 MHz, 13700K. I actually upgraded the system mostly because Intel Arc pretty much requires PCIE Gen4 to function correctly, and I had my sights set on it.
