[SOLVED] Bottleneck Issues?

[Marshall Benes]

If I am using a 3rd generation I5 3.4ghz 3rd generation with a rtx2060 and Asus Motherboard will I get bottlenecking Issues running games in Ultra settings at 1440p?
or am I wasting my money on the video card ? any suggestions would help



Thanks for your Input

Most likely you will be CPU limited. You could always pump up graphics settings, like enabling super sample antialiasing, in order to increase GPU load and decrease CPU load, but I don't know how well that would work at 1440p.

It depends on what you play. In the multiplayer titles, you'll definitely be more cpu limited. For most of the single player ones, it'll be the gpu.

Here's what I'm using for a reference:
1st, your I5-3570(K) + 2060 at 1440p ultra: https://www.gpucheck.com/en-usd/gpu/nvidia-geforce-rtx-2060/intel-core-i5-3570-3-40ghz/ultra [scroll down for the actual graphs, they're like halfway down the page]

Now, if you were to upgrade the cpu to something like the Ryzen 3600: https://www.gpucheck.com/en-usd/gpu/nvidia-geforce-rtx-2060/amd-ryzen-5-3600/ultra
So, about a 30% uplift on average - still going to depend on what you play though.

Now, if you were instead to upgrade the gpu... RTX 2070 Super: https://www.gpucheck.com/compare/nv...3-40ghz/ultra/ultra/-vs-?lang=en&currency=usd
25% on average.

RTX 2080 Super: https://www.gpucheck.com/compare/nv...3-40ghz/ultra/ultra/-vs-?lang=en&currency=usd
45% on average.

The short answer is no. I have a 1070 and thats kind close to 2060 not super im guessing. 1440p still brings gpu to there knees in some tittles. Plus certain games are bottlenecking all hardware so doesnt matter what you throw at it. Me personally i used to fear bottle necking but is bottle necking that bad when you are getting over 80 fps ? It is impossible to eliminate bottlenecking because either the cpu or gpu is going to be stressed. Unless you run prime 95 and Firestrike

Naturally a i5-3xxx series CPU is not going to match the FPS of the more modern CPUs, particularly the minimum FPS (.1% lows)...

You might still be pleased with the combo overall if it can still deliver near 60 fps average , however...
