should i get rtx 4060 instead of rtx 4070 because of cpu bottleneck? i5 9600k
HELP!

Eh, bottlenecks vary by game and application
Unless you only play GTA V that is
i play games like genshin. constant 60 fps i dont notice frames drop at max settings so i don't have to worry?
right now i have 6600xt...planning to get the 4000 series just for the AV1 encoder
and i feel im not even getting any upgrade to performance?
also i want to switch back to nvidia ._. and also want that rog cooler probably overpriced. in the future i just might switch to intel arcs
I have another question: If my gpu is already bottlenecked. does having more vram be beneficial?
If you switch to nvidia then yeah, you won't be feeling much of an upgrade. The 4000 series is all about AV1, efficiency (they take less power for the same performance) and dlss3
As I said every game is a world. If your games don't need more vram than what you already use then it's kinda useless. But newest console ports use at least 10-12 GB of VRAM so if you want to play those then definitely will be helpful to have more
It's also worth noting that most of the "bottleneck" discussion is misrepresented or doesn't factor in other things.
RTX 4000 series isn't that powerful at 1080p compared to earlier cards, but at 1440p or 4K they pull ahead massively
at 1080p your CPU has more impact
That's true only for the 4090/4080. All the other cards have very little bandwidth compared to their power so they lose performance at 4k
The 3080 is actually better at 4k than the 4070 even if the 4070 is better at 1080p
Interesting, the 4070Ti I have is much better at higher resolutions, wouldn't have expected the slightly cut down version to be weaker than last gen
Depends on the game
Some games require lots of textures in and out of vram
Both the 4070ti and 4070 have the same bus width and vram capacity
okay ty. does having more vram help with stuff like video editing?
Definitely
thank you so much Beroun
wait even if i bottleneck at 8vram...12 vram still helps
for video editing
