Wow, that's an awesome resource. Thank you! Apparently my 1070 is already a bottleneck for my 6700K. If I swap out for this GPU, it says they will work well together. Rep given!

I have a six year old system consisting of a i7 6700K, GTX 1070, and a 750W PSU. Can I buy this without needing to upgrade other parts? I imagine I'll have a bottleneck at the motherboard/CPU level but how much of one is the question.

I'm looking to replace my 1070 because it's been crashing in games and underclocking has stopped that behavior. I suspect it's dying
I had a similar situation at the beginning of this year. I bought an RX 5500 dirt cheap as a temp GPU to hold me over until prices came down. Jumped from FX 6300 (2012) to i5-11400f during a fire sale. While benchmarking a handful of games (2012-2020 releases) on both CPUs, I didn't notice too much of a difference since it's a modest GPU. I got at most 10% higher FPS after upgrading CPU/mobo/RAM. Your CPU isn't as bad as my old one so I suspect you'll generally be ok. If there was a big gap, you'd potentially suffer a bit of stuttering due to a weak CPU though.

This can give you a ballpark number too. Not perfect, but the results seem reasonable to me when I was tinkering with it: https://pc-builds.com/bottleneck-calculator

Got this card elsewhere a few days ago and upgraded from a 1070 using a 4k TV. Funny thing; I assumed I could only use it at either 1k or 4k native, but with that new (to me) upsampling tech, this thing runs like a beast with high settings at 3k, I can only barely tell the difference in resolution. Absolute steal at this price.

Would the games in the AMD Raise the Game Offer be resellable? I am not interested in either of those games so it would be nice to be able to resell the keys.

Does anyone know if redeeming the games give you a key or if it adds the games to your library directly?

I would recommend an upgrade. My brother had a 6600k before i gifted him a 3070ti for his birthday and he saw maybe like 20-30% increase in performance over his 1070. Upgraded to a 5600X setup and saw the 2x gains he was supposed to.

A 6700K is pretty ancient by now.

Well, I gave in, I placed the order. I guess the worst thing is if the price dropped before next year I can cancel the order...

I agree. I'm thinking about switching over to AMD but I'm waiting for prices to drop. I don't play as much as I used to so it's a lower priority atm

Also, for giggles, I put your brother's 6600K and 3070Ti into the bottleneck calculator and it results in a 25% CPU bottleneck. But when I switched it to the 5600X, it's basically 0%. Makes sense why he had the performance issues that he did!

Yeah he was also gaming at 1080p at that res you're pretty cpu bound anyways.
