Will AMD Ryzen 5 5600X bottleneck a 3070 in FHD?
I saw many answers on this question but some said that 5 5600X wont bottleneck a 3070 and some say it will bottleneck.

To many variables like the game, monitor resolution.
In general go into your brain and delete the word bottleneck.

Depending on the game and settings what limits your performance can change from one part to anouther.
 
Hey there,

They are actually very well balanced together! The 5600x is still a very strong gaming CPU. Now, at 1080p, and all thing being equal except for a different CPU like a 5800x/5950x/5800x 3d, then you would not really get a huge boost with the better CPU's on AM4.

So, pretty strong combo.

As @Zerk2012 said: Forget the term bottleneck. It's misleading at best. If you think about it the biggest bottleneck is the user of the PC themselves :tearsofjoy: We are the slowest part of any PC equation.

Thank you, because i was gonna buy 9 5900X because bottleneck calculator said its 20% bottleneck so now im buying a 5 5600X
