Chinga Posted February 24, 2019 Posted February 24, 2019 Currently have an i5-4670k @ 4.5ghz 16gig gskill ddr3 @2400ghz and an evga gtx 970. Eventually wanna upgrade whole system but short on cash. Birthday coming up in a couple weeks and have 5 adult children willing to pitch in for a new card. looking at the msi rtx 2070 armor o/c or the gaming z. Setup I have now isn't too bad..very playable until there's a lot of action going on. My monitor runs at 2560x1080. Will this card in your guys opinion smooth things out during heavy action? Will my cpu be a bottleneck? Basically asking if this is a waste of 500.00 lol
Jumbik Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 I wouldn't call it a waste. You will definitely see major improvements in performance when switching to 2070. Do, or do not, there is no try. -------------------------------------------------------- Sapphire Nitro+ Rx Vega 64, i7 4790K ... etc. etc.

Will my cpu be a bottleneck? Basically asking if this is a waste of 500.00 lol Should be a great combination! Four-core i5 is a great CPU for DCS, and anything over 4.0 GHz is excellent. Also, GTX 10xx and RTX 20xx card support FreeSync monitors with the newest drivers, so if your monitor has FreeSync (or G-Sync for that matter) you'll definitely want to enable it. What it does is cause your monitor's screen to refresh once per frame delivered by the graphics card, so the card and monitor update the image on-screen at the same time. It eliminates stutters and hitches, and gives *really* nice, smooth, fluid motion even as the framerate varies. Very worthwhile checking out if you're gonna run an RTX 2070!
