A friend is selling me his RTX 3060 for just $100, but I'm wondering if my i5 7600K will bottleneck the performance. Will the upgrade be worthwhile or should I pass on this deal?

Honestly, it's about a 20% performance boost moving from a 1070 TI to a 3060. For only $100, I think it's a solid deal! Plus, you'll get features like DLSS and ray tracing. Just be aware that your CPU might limit some of that potential.
True! DLSS helps, but only when your CPU isn't the bottleneck.
Yeah, but don't expect to fully enjoy ray tracing without a strong CPU.
