Just be aware of potential bottleneck issues with that CPU and GPU combination.

Bottleneck issues? The i7 9700k may be old but it’s still a high end PC pc part that meets the standards of the latest competitive games.

While it might meet the system requirements, that does not mean it's automatically a good match for a GPU. 

Both the GPU and CPU have to be matched as good as possible, to avoid a bottleneck.

A 9700K bottlenecks a 3080 by 37% at 1080P. I am assuming you will experience a bottleneck with a 4070 at 1080P.

Even if that is the case no issues will occur quite the opposite will happen. The 4070 is a huge upgrade from my current 2060 and considering the 4070s price a slightly lower end GPU a that wouldn’t bottleneck my system, such as a 3080, is of similar price wouldn’t last near as long as the 4070. Nothing but positives would occur from this bottleneck.

He wasn’t making me aware of anything as what you’ve just stated is false. Like I said there’s no negative affects of bottleneck in this case. The 4070 is extremely cheap for its power and a GPU that wouldn’t bottleneck my system such as the 3070 actually costs around the same price. That said it’s your opinion……. Even though you aren’t looking at the details.

The incremental money you spend for a graphics card that is severely underutilized is a non-positive occurrence. That said, its your money . . . Vanadiel was just making you aware. Enjoy your rig!

4070 it is then. Feel free to post the FPS increases before and after, so we can better advice other users on upgrade possibilities.

Wow, you're knowledgeable!!! I have a friend with the same CPU as me and he has a 3070 he gets 110fps in Warzone whereas I only get 80fps. I believe a 4070 will prove its value if I'm getting a significant increase in fps on a game I play competitively.

A used GPU is of a lower value to a new GPU. If a buy a 3050 it’s not as cost effective as buying a 4070 as I will have to replace it sooner. If I bug a 4070 at some point I can upgrade my CPU and the PC will last a few years. If I buy a 3050 in a year or two I will need to upgrade. This is not as cost effective….. those are the details.
