RTX 2070 on i7 4770K at 4.2Ghz

[hAyO]

Well, that's it, many of you know that for a while I've been interested in changing my graphics card, since at the time I didn't have the money to afford one and I had to resort to second-hand and get the 560 TI, which I had been using until now.

Although I had many doubts before getting it, with so many models released these years... whether it was the 960 at first, a second-hand 760... the 1050TI or the 1060... when the 1070TI came out, and when I decided to buy it, the mining thing happened...

And well, 2019 arrives, and I open Photoshop, and it starts giving me VULKAN errors (although it keeps giving them to me, I guess it's the version I have) and of course the GTX 560 TI, Vulkan doesn't support it, but it's curious, the QUADRO 2000 does, and in GeForce, it was from the 6xx series... but well...

Here we enter the question, the 2060 or the 2070... of course since we spent the money we want it to last...
also the price difference 100€ up or down, that 80€... the performance...

Thinking about it (since as soon as I can I want to jump to Ryzen) and to NVME, I decided on the RTX 2070 Windforce from Gigabyte (for the cooler more than anything). And we installed it in my main machine...

And here the question is, how will it go? Will there be a bottleneck? Has the landscape changed so much?

The main machine I have is the one for the firm, but nevertheless I will mention it again:

Zalman Z9 NEO - Corsair TX850 - Asrock Z97 Extreme 4 - i7 4770K - 24GB DDR3 Gskill 2400 - Samsung 850 EVO 250GB...

So I decided to test it I used the 3D Mark, which can be acquired as a demo on STEAM, and the Shadow of the Tomb Raider... The truth is, in the test I didn't notice the bottleneck, but in the game yes, some pause here and there (even with a clean install) or seeing that the graphics card is almost unused compared to the processor... so I decided to do some OC and put it at 4.2Ghz...

And here I leave you the result:

As you can see, you can notice some of the bottleneck, and given the final score you can see the differences between CPU/Graphics, and more when @rul3s who has the same card, with his Ryzen 2600 he gives almost 7xxx points more or less...

We even did the automatic OC test of MSI AfterBurner, and it let me go up over 160-170Mhz more which is no small feat (he went up a bit more, but I think it could also be due to the difference in platform etc..).

Conclusion: Bottleneck, there is, you can play if, but you realize that it needs some extra juice.

The Vega 56 Pulse is very juicy, less than 300€ in pcc.

Don't worry about the neck, that's solved with a Ryzen 2 xD

@obione if in the end I decided on this one because otherwise in the end it wouldn't change xd the truth and of course now comes Navi hahaha
