[SOLVED] bottleneck

[Richerd]

my spec: intel i3 9th gen 4.2ghz, 16 gigs of ram ddr4, RTX 2060
someone please help me with this.

Yes, your CPU is on the weak side.

The "bottleneck" will be less prevalent at higher resolutions (and/or with ray tracing on).

but i've got answers , telling it does not.....................

Even the best systems can bottleneck in certain circumstances. What games? What resolution?

A quad core/thread cpu can be quite limiting in some modern games especially at lower resolutions.

Your i3 is a bit weak, but nothing catastrophic.

so in that case my pc is not that bad and i can play new games too, without having a problem?

Depends what your expectations are. There are games that the cpu will prevent you averaging 60fps. How much this bothers you depends on you. The only game I have played that is a disaster on quad core/thread CPU’s is Gears 5.

 

[Richerd]

A minimum of 60 fps is good enough for me , i guess i can achieve that right?
And i don't think its gonna put more stress on my pc.

You have the PC. Surely you can answer that for yourself.

Crank the quality settings and your FPS probably wont get high enough to expose the CPU limitation.

An RTX2060 is an excellent 1080P GPU...

The 4c/4t CPU was already becoming increasingly marginal for gaming even in 2016, and the advent of affordable 6c/12 Ryzens in March of 2017 much made them persona non grata formost new gaming builds.

I'd look at seeing if your mainboard will support an i7-9700/9700K, skipping the everything i5-9600K and below intentionally...if you are unhappy with current minimum /average FPS
