MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti GAMING Z TRIO with i7 7700K

[CHKR]

Hello all!

I'm struggling to find out about the possible bottleneck with the RTX 2080 Ti and my i7-7700K.
Currently I run:
MSI z270 gaming M3
MSI GeForce 1070 Ti 8GB VRAM
Intel i7-7700K
G.Skill Trident 64GB DDR4
Sata HDD 2TB
Samsung SSD 250GB
NVME M.2. 2TB
Dark Base 900
Be Quiet Pure Power 10 600W
1440p Monitor

I found someone in my area that will give away a 2080Ti for around 350€. So I'm considering the upgrade from my 1070Ti.
Would it be a good match? PC-builds bottleneck tester calculated 5,2% of a CPU bottleneck. But I know they're not accurate, cause they don't know what I'm actually doing.
I do video editing and gaming. Everything's in 1440p. So far everything runs stable and is working great. With the 2080Ti I thought I could max out the longevity of my system a bit. Plus the additional VRAM might come in handy.

What are your thoughts? Should I do it? Even if the bn is at 5,2%, how much would that be of an impact. It doesn't seem to be noticable out of my perspective...which is narrow when it comes to this !

Happy for every input!

Hi
That will be a huge upgrade from 1070Ti. I also wouldn't trust any kind of bottleneck "calculators", it's just meaningless calculations of who know what.

Hello!
Sry, for the very late reply. Didn't get notified for some reason.

So you mean I would not experience a bottleneck? I still haven't bought it yet. He even went down to 300€.

Just buy it.

Will it bottleneck? PROBABLY......by like 2 to 5% maybe.......but it's VERY game/application specific. Games/applications that tend to be CPU bound will show this more than games that are GPU bound.
ie games/applications that are incredibly CPU intensive, will tend to slow the entire system down, which ultimately has an impact on graphics.
games/applications that are incredibly GPU intensive will not show it much, as the CPU can keep the GPU fed with information without any issues.

Hopefully that helps?

Me, I'd just buy it. A buddy of mine is running at i7 6700 with a rtx3070ti without any issues, even at 1440p.

That bottleneck is minimal.
Core i7 7700K is still a great processor even now, in 2023.
Paired with a RTX 2080 Ti you'll be able to play any of the current games using High/Ultra settings.
Just 2 examples:

Finally I got it! Didn't take the 300€ one in the end due to some "communication" problems . But I found a refurbished one with new heatpads and paste for 350€. Had to upgrade my PSU though. My old 600W Pure Power couldn't supply the new card.

So far I'm satisfied with it. Haven't had any hickups when editing in 4K (but it was just some small clips) and the render time is much faster than compared to my old 1070 Ti.
Gaming-wise RTX seems to be nice, but I'm overall impressed by DLSS. That will squeeze out some longevity of any compatible hardware! Feels like I've entered a party extremely late..haha!
