Hi everyone,
I want to start by expressing my gratitude for your time. I’m checking if this hardware issue will affect my MSI RXT 2080 Ti trio during regular use or when overclocked.
My system specs are: Z270 M5 motherboard, 16 GB DDR4 memory with Corsair vengeance RGB, an 850 W COOLER POWER supply, and an i7-7700K CPU.
Thanks again.
It has been verified by several tech reviewers that even their 5.0GHz 8700K models are limited to 1080P by the GTX 2080 ti. If you're using 1080P, you'll encounter performance issues (though not extremely severe, a 7700K can still handle high FPS at that resolution). For higher resolutions like 1440P, 4K, 5K, and 8K, there should be no bottlenecks.

Alright thanks guys and I use a UWQHD at 120 hz. So I guess there should be not problems. It's strange that I only get 62-70 fps on ultra on assassin's Creed oddessey, then again that game has some optimization issues.
Aaron_23 thanks everyone and mentions using a UWQHD at 120 hz. He notes he only gets 62-70 fps on ultra in assassin's Creed oddessey, suggesting possible optimization issues rather than a game problem. He believes there are ways to improve performance without affecting visuals, and the hardware unboxed includes a video for more details.
Unlikely. Tom has thoroughly tested all RTX models on a 7700k system so far. Refer to: "Nvidia’s newest offerings will surely be seen on one of the many premium platforms now offered by AMD and Intel. Our graphics station still uses an MSI Z170 Gaming M7 motherboard paired with an Intel Core i7-7700K CPU at 4.2 GHz, supported by G.Skill’s F4-3000C15Q-16GRR memory kit. Crucial’s MX200 SSD is also present, alongside a 1.4TB Intel DC P3700 loaded with games." As long as it isn’t a Ryzen or another AMD chip with poor single-core performance, you won’t be struggling with your GPU beyond what current technology permits.
Not likely. Tom has already completed extensive RTX testing on a 7700k rig. See: "Nvidia’s latest and greatest will probably be seen on one of the many high-end platforms now offered by AMD and Intel. Our graphics station still uses an MSI Z170 Gaming M7 motherboard with an Intel Core i7-7700K CPU at 4.2 GHz, which is supported by G.Skill’s F4-3000C15Q-16GRR memory kit. Crucial’s MX200 SSD remains, paired with a 1.4TB Intel DC P3700 loaded with games." As long as it isn’t a Ryzen or another AMD model with poor single-core performance, you won’t be struggling with your GPU beyond what current technology permits. Your main evidence for this comes from the fact that even an 8700k can lag behind a 2080 Ti in certain CPU-intensive games. AC Odyssey is also mentioned above. I’ll share benchmarks if you’re interested.
Hi All,
I'm thinking about upgrading my GTX 1080ti with the new RTX 3000 series later this year, aiming to join the ray tracing community. Should I also consider replacing my Intel 7700k for potential performance issues?
I usually play at 1440p and have 16Gb DDR4 RAM.
Thanks in advance.
Simone.
