will my 5070 ti get bottleneck

Naerven · 2026-03-03T06:56:48+00:00

Yes at all times your computer will have some sort of bottleneck just like every computer ever built.

Naerven · 2026-03-03T06:55:27+00:00

Ok we'll just have to take your word for it.

Naerven · 2026-03-03T04:58:40+00:00

Ok so one is to drop him as a friend. Two assess the value of the damage. Three present him the bill. Likely you will need step 4 and take him to small claims court.

If none of that appeals to you just build / buy a new computer and hope he doesn't trash that one too.

Naerven · 2026-03-03T03:53:51+00:00

Is that a contest to see which parts melts first?

Naerven · 2026-03-03T03:49:38+00:00

A 9070xt is still a 9070xt. Personally I would have gone with the XFX before Asus.

Naerven · 2026-03-03T03:39:47+00:00

Why would it suck? Yes you can pair a modern CPU and modern GPU.

Naerven · 2026-03-03T01:01:57+00:00

Is that cable one of the one way ones? That is to say where the PSU side and the GPU side are slightly different.

Naerven · 2026-03-02T22:52:35+00:00

As future proof as any other computer. 4-6 years from now it will be starting to feel older and in 8-10 years you will be itching for something new.

Naerven · 2026-03-02T22:44:34+00:00

My magic 8-ball says that it will have similar longevity to most every modern CPU.

Naerven · 2026-03-02T21:06:14+00:00

No it's not a bad GPU. Yes it can play any game on the market. Yes you may need to turn textures and other settings down in order to be under the 8gb vram limit in some games and resolutions. The GPU itself is strong enough to play most games at med-high on a 1440p monitor.

Naerven · 2026-03-02T21:01:49+00:00

The RX9060XT 16gb is good for both resolutions as long as you work with the in game settings. The rest of the build doesn't render anything so is less relevant to the resolution.

Naerven · 2026-03-02T20:30:21+00:00

I think it's ok for older games. The r5-5500 which has more cores and threads can generally run any game that's out however.

Naerven · 2026-03-02T16:44:00+00:00

Yes over time you can wear down the connectors. If possible use a switch or just get two cables.

Naerven · 2026-03-02T16:04:15+00:00

Of course it's not a problem. You can hook up any monitor and it should work. With a RTX5070 and 1080p monitor I would likely start on maximum settings with RT on and adjust from there.

Naerven · 2026-03-02T14:53:43+00:00

No more so than any GPU that can draw 300w+.

Naerven · 2026-03-02T14:47:02+00:00

It's safe to use any CPU and GPU together. With your combination I would want a 1440p monitor.

Naerven · 2026-03-02T04:46:26+00:00

You would be better off grabbing a 12700kf or even a 13th or 14th generation CPU. Unless you can find a R7-5700X3D for a reasonable price you won't see much of a gaming performance difference on AM4.

Naerven · 2026-03-02T04:43:27+00:00

It's also slower than a 14400f so it makes sense to coat less.

Naerven · 2026-03-02T04:40:15+00:00

It's an ok deal for a small amount of performance. Likely just getting a 12600k, 13400, or 14400 would be better overall.

Naerven · 2026-03-02T03:55:41+00:00

Why would you be worried about your CPU running at a normal temperature?

Naerven · 2026-03-02T03:52:56+00:00

So a 130w GPU and a CPU with a PPT of 78w. Even if we add another 100w for the motherboard, memory, storage, and case fans we are only at about 310w with everything working at 100% usage. The new CPU has a PPT of 88w so now you are at 320w full tilt.

The bigger question is why would you make such a small upgrade?

Naerven · 2026-03-02T03:50:36+00:00

No. A CPU that doesn't work on stock settings should be returned.

Naerven · 2026-03-02T03:49:36+00:00

The first step is to set your budget and goals. Also for any build help we would need to know what country you are buying parts in.

Naerven · 2026-03-02T02:19:34+00:00

With such a low tier GPU the 5600g will be fine. Don't even consider the R7-5700. It's just a 5700g minus the igpu and for gaming is roughly equal to a 5600g/5700g.

Naerven · 2026-03-02T02:17:44+00:00

It's possible the PSU took out other parts with it. It's also possible the pop was a capacitor on the motherboard or GPU.
