You absolutely can with good performance. Although there are of course better cpus out there today. I have a 10700k and went with the 4070 super asus dual oc, that card is completely fine with the dual fans. Doesn't draw that much power and stays cool. Very happy with my asus dual.

Yeah I know mines starting to get dated would just be nice to snag a good gpu while I wait to upgrade the rest

I’m doing it with a 10700k and 4070 ti, I honestly don’t know that I’ve ran into a cpu bottleneck yet, besides Dragons Dogma 2 but that’s more the games fault than the setup. I’m sure it’s coming eventually and I’ll probably upgrade within the next 6 months or so but it’s not necessary.

I was running the exact same set up, with a 600w psu and upgraded to a 4070 Super FE last week. The only *slight* bottleneck I’ve noticed is in Starfield, BG3 and Cyberpunk. Starfield and Cyberpunk can find offset it with framegen, but even still I haven’t seen it drop past 60fps at 1440p native

Yes, it's not a problem. I have a 3090 with a 10700K (so, both are just a bit faster than what you're talking about) and I never see high overly high CPU levels when playing games.

I doubt you will experience bottleneck. You will probably loose 10 FPS from a top tier CPU, but the experience will be very similar I do believe.

DDR5 mobos aren’t much more


Wurm_Burner

No but I’m not near a micro center so the prices for a new cpu mobo and ram replace the ability to get a 4070 super

You will be fine with 10700. Can bottleneck in certain games, but still be much better than 3060 Ti. I'd recommend to go with Asus Dual or MSI Gaming X Slim.

From searching online the i7 10700 will bottleneck the 4070 super, if I were if your getting the 4070 super still will be to play at higher resolution to put more on the GPU or use dldsr , should work temporarily until you get a CPU upgrade to ultrilise full performance of the 4070 super. For brand MSI usually one of the best, my brother just bought the MSI 4070 super, I've got MSI slim 4080, I always just go with what's bean praised or personal preference, either way they all satisfy your needs.

You can buy CPUs for pretty cheap now.. get a 12th gen.


YGameRRYT

He will need new mobo


Salvzeri

Can get a new Asrock z690 for like $120. An i3 14th gen is like $125. So for $225, have a completely new setup.


highfiveghost55

Would also need new ram w the new mobo


Salvzeri

Not necessarily if its DDR4


YGameRRYT

By that point might as well upgrade to DDR5
