Your i7 6700k will be a bottleneck for next gen games due to being a quad core. 8 core cpus are going to be the base for next gen games.I have a gtx1700, i7 6700k, 16 GB RAM and 2tb nvne SSD.
I can still play most if not all games at high settings @1440p. Alongside this a lot of games have as the minimum requirement 960 or older cards.
Is there any need to upgrade?
GPU only, to start pushing into 1440p 144hz without lowering details.
I'm on a i7-6700k 4.5 Ghz and a GTX 1070.
It is tempting to upgrade the CPU, but at this point I would need a new cooler and new mobo. At this point I prefer to donate my PC to my university and start from scratch (I would keep the case and the PSU) when DDR5 arrives.
For now it will be just the GPU.
Haha, thanks.I'd reccomend upgrading your monitor. A 1660ti will get you incredibly solid performance at 1440p (60+ fps), and should even let you play at 4k 30-40fps if you prefer visuals over framerate.
Otherwise, great rig. I might have skimmed a bit off the CPU and SSD and put it into the GPU, but your PC will be very futureproof, only needing GPU upgrades over the next 5+ years.
Seems like AMD is way ahead of the game right now. Judging by these rumors. we probably won't see anything from them until the fall. :/New Mother Board, new CPU and GPU, basically. But I don't know when and I can't decide if I should go with Intel or AMD
Oh, no rush for me. I will wait 1 or 2 years after the next gen arrive like I did this gen. My I3 4ª and than 8ª + 1060 did wonders for meSeems like AMD is way ahead of the game right now. Judging by these rumors. we probably won't see anything from them until the fall. :/
I hope you are right but i sincerely doubt it. Nowadays games are still having i3 and very old i5 2700k as minimum requirements. Those are >7 year old CPUs. I'd be surprised if games releasing this year or the next will have as minimum requirement an 8 Core CPU.Your i7 6700k will be a bottleneck for next gen games due to being a quad core. 8 core cpus are going to be the base for next gen games.
It will improve your fps by 50%
That's how weak the jaquar cpus were in Xbox On and PS4, but both the the XSX and PS5 are basically going to have Ryzen 3700x cpus in them this time around so the baseline is going to be much higher. Going to be interesting to see how year 1 games perform.I hope you are right but i sincerely doubt it. Nowadays games are still having i3 and very old i5 2700k as minimum requirements.

I'd love to see games such as warhammer 3 having more shit in the screen as well as having RTX.
