Surprised you still went with such a build after the advice you received to be honest. It's a great build but massively overspecced in the GPU for your setup and massively under-specced in the CPU department.

Happy to see another happy customer though

I needed cpu due too total war series being bottlenecking gpu
And i run 144hz need to push fps up in shooter

I was running i76700k 4ghz and 1080ti that was barely scratching surface... i game on 1440p 144hz 2070 not powerfull enough or 2080 as 1080ti better than both .
Its specced just right in my opinion?.
What would you change?

 

[thegrandfromage1]

You guys recommended amd?

You would never bottle neck the GPU from the CPU at 1440p, not even with the 6700k. It honestly seems like a lack of understanding in regards to what affects what and how they link with each other.

I would have gone with a 3900X and a 2070 Super (2080 Super at an absolute push).

If you're finding the FPS being limited it's because your GFX settings aren't optimised. Throwing every slider up to max/ultra is just crazy as you can have the 2080Ti on its knees at 1080p with some titles.

The 2070 Super is a 144hz+ card.

With your build as it is, it's sub-optimal for editing and is now bottle necked graphically by the monitor. You have wasted around £500 to get exactly the same level of performance as you could have while pocketing the cash.

Like I said... your lack of understanding... not ours.

That's 1080p medium settings aiming for competitive refresh rates.

Have a look at 1440p and see what the difference is. Calculate the %age lost between the chips... then look at professional benchmarks and see what the %age loss is for editing/rendering/computing against the 3900X. AMD would let you take an extra 3 months off a year.

i do understand what you are saying and appreciate the input. And as i do optimise every game and appreciate that 2070 may be 144hz card its just not powerful enough for what i was looking for as i have done checks and tests. 1080ti was not cutting it even at 1440p. I chose a build that will be predominantly a gaming rig once this lock down over and also future proofed for upgrades of the monitor... ive been looking at ultrawide as my next venture.. just cannot and wil not fork out £££ just yet and just so you know im not a complete novice and by no means state im an expert but i do check, and re check my figures thats why i was asking in original post for advise for water cooling as that field i have no clue
Cheers mate

 

[thegrandfromage1]

Sorry i should have stated in first post its predominantly a gaming rig would have cleared this mess up straight away. If it was more about the work loads then your right.... what clown i would have been
