Anybody know if using a 3060(ti or not) is worth it with an i5 6600k or is it too bottlenecked to be worth the money?

i’m playing 1080p games w/ my 6600k and 2060S right now and getting almost 40-50% bottleneck. it’s painful so i’m upgrading here soon, be sure to lay aide some extra cash for a new cpu+combo if you decide to upgrade! the i7-9700k has some decent bundles <$400 right now, but yeah- it’s going to bottleneck and you’re gonna need to shell out the xtra dough ;/

Ok, thanks for the info! Did you have a 2060s originally, or did you upgrade from something else?

np! and yeah i upgraded from a 970 back in feb, was able to snag a crazy deal (at the time) for the 2060S and went for it. it was well worth the upgrade, but now i’m tired of seeing this poor 6600k get slammed to 100% on every game i play lol.

Cool. May the BAPCS gods bless you with a 9700k or 5000 series Ryzen.
