[SOLVED] 5850X and 4090

[Jimbob1]

I’m purchasing the MSI 4090, and upgrading to the 5850x. I’m expecting bottleneck obviously but will I see noticeable bottleneck or not?

I’m expecting bottleneck obviously

Why?

What is your personal definition of "bottleneck"?

 

[USAFRet]

Further, are you aware of the power issues with 4090's?
What specific PSU do you have?
What will this be used for?

5950X I mean

 

[sizzling]

What resolution and Hz is your monitor?

I’ve got a Corsair 850W, but upgrading to a 1000W. As for the bottleneck. As in is the GPU running 100% sufficiency.

For what use?
Gaming?

As requested above, what monitor/resolution?

There is no "how much" with 'bottleneck'.
The CPU provides the framerate, the GPU provides the eyecandy.

And every game is different.

with a 4090 you should be at 4k or maybe 1440p at the lowest.

the cpu is not the bottleneck at the higher resolutions since the gpu is working much harder.

should not be an issue at all and nothing to worry about.

however, if for some reason you are at 1080p, then this is a COLOSSAL WASTE OF MONEY. both the cpu and gpu!!

What about with the 3700x which is what I've got currently.

should not be much different. at 4k, the gpu is doing most of the work. take a look and see if someone has bench marked some cpu's for the games you play. really only way to tell.

been a long time since i cared enough to alook for such info but it's usually there to find. search "my game" cpu benchmarks and you should find something to at least give you an idea
