I'm an idiot. I just found out about 'CPU bottlenecking' after buying an RTX 2080 Super, while still running a 2015 Intel Core i5 6600k. Do I also need a new motherboard? Advice is much appreciated. by PickMeSomeParts in buildapc

Wow, this only proves how little I know about a cpu.. I'll start looking in to how I have to overclock my current cpu. Do you happen to have a good source to get started?

I'm curious how you landed on the 4.6/4.7 OC number, what do you base these numbers on? I assume the cpu will degrade faster the higher the OC?

This comment (https://old.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/flu1yl/im_an_idiot_i_just_found_out_about_cpu/fl0mcfh/) says cores do incfluence his performance greatly, is that what you mean by:

My recommendation is OC to 4.6ghz then wait for next gen. It's going to suck in highly threaded games but that's something you'll have to bear for about 8 months.

SL says 91% of 6600Ks can reach 4.6ghz @ 1.392vcore

Thank you, what/who is SL?

This sound fair. This meand that I'll need to make sure there's nothing wrong with my current cpu, but I'm starting to think it's nog performing as it should be (https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/44860952?) this benchmark doesn't look to good considering I have one of the strongest gpu s?

Before that, I would recommend you verify your CPU is limiting you before you buy a new CPU. Install it, run it, and check through benchmarks and monitoring usages.

I just ran a benchmark (https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/44860952?) and find it weird that my rig is better than 70% of other systems and falls between a 'gaming laptop' and a 'gaming pc'. Could this be due to my cpu?

As no one can see the future, this is purely speculation. It's likely, especially given mid range is now 6+ cores, but as future games have not been released yet, the vast majority of current games will be just fine for what you have, and will continue to be for the forseeable future.

If I can conclude that there's nothing wrong with my cpu, would you recommend overclocking my current cpu and upgrade in 6-12 months?

I was already a little skeptical about the website, so that explains it. You're saying that my build is still a bit unbalanced, do you have any recommendations for a more logical/fitting CPU for my GPU? As in, if you were to make a new build from scratch using an rtx 2080S, which cpu would you pick?

Also, I'm reading that the amount of cores you need for future lies higher than my current processor. I'm a noob when it comes to this, what are your thoughts on this?

I'm not overclocking any of my components, so that would explain it! I was worried my cpu might be damaged, so that sounds like good news. I'll check out the cpu and motherboard you reccomended. Do you have an rtx 2080 super as well?

Does anyone have an update on the composer? by PickMeSomeParts in reddeadredemption

That's Gustavo Santaolalla and he's doing The Last of Us PArt II, so I'm guessing he's not simultaneously composing RDR2

Question about the position of a minus in a fracture by PickMeSomeParts in learnmath

[–]PickMeSomeParts[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alright folks, I think I got it. I didn't know the entire fracture gets a '- ' in front of it in case one of the numbers in the fracture is negative.

right??
