is this setup outdated?
I have an Asus Maximus vii impact motherboard with a 4790k CPU, 16 gigabytes of DDR3 1600 memory, a Corsair 600W platinum certified power supply, and a Gigabyte GTX1070 mini recently added. I purchased a 4K monitor and am wondering if it’s sufficient for Ultimate Config. If I need to switch platforms, which one should I consider?
no, i have the same setup without the 4k monitor,
4790k, z87 Msi gaming 5, Asus 1070 Strix, 16 gb ddr3 1600, corsair RM 850, but it depends on what you do,
i manage VFX works and video editing smoothly, only needing more RAM if needed.
for 4k Ultra games it’s a bit old, the 4790k has a slight bottleneck, but it’s not a big issue.
if you can swap one part, go for a 2080 or 2080Ti graphics card, and you should handle 4k gaming at around 60 fps with adjustments.
edit : your CPU will definitely struggle with 4k, i work on 4k files, but a 2080ti would be more than sufficient to overcome that.
I believe he's referring to 4K gaming, and his CPU should handle it, but the GPU might not be strong enough.
my system works best with a 200mm graphics card, so...
could upgrading to an e3 xeon and rtx2070 mini make a difference?
why not opt for a standard 8700k instead? also 2070 is essentially 1080, so it would still face challenges with 4k 60. skip the mini, since rtx cards tend to run hotter than grx cards.
but i really like the case... perhaps i'll build another pc once 9700k get cheaper
