[SOLVED] Bottlenecking/Limiting Factor

[Ducky190]

I have a Ryzen 5 2600 right now and a 1660 GPU. I want to get a 2070 super but i'm afraid it'll be bottle necked too much. And i know it depends on the game, so what would it be for fortnite, and what do you guys think I should do?

And i have a 550W power supply so will it even work?

Your PSU needs to be compatible with the GPU bruh, you need to check on that first.

I wont recommend it, you'll be better off if you save up a month and buy the 2070S with a better compatible PSU.
Other than that No, your CPU will not bottleneck the RTX 2070S. The only way you're going to be limited by the CPU is the Core Clocks. They are low and gaming prefers higher core clocks which is why a 3300X(4c/8t) gives more fps in games than r5 2600(6c/12t).
BUT r3 3300X also bottlenecks in some highly CPU demanding games while the R5 2600 doesn't. CPU bottlenecks are bad but the bottlenecks you should really be watching out for are when your CPU is sitting at 100% and your r5 2600 will probably never hit 100% CPU usage with your RTX 2070S even if you play at 1080p which should be good enough for now since you can always upgrade later.

Yes pairing with a r5 3600 will improve your FPS compared to r5 2600 but that's due to higher core clocks and newer architecture. But this way, you can put a r5 3600 overclocked against stock and you'll see that the OC version gives a bit more FPS, this doesn't mean that r5 3600 was a bottleneck, just that higher core clocks are just better atleast for gaming. You wont be facing stutters/freezes, that's not the type of bottleneck you'll be facing.

Thanks so much bro, I wasn’t sure but the link and the way you explained helped a lot and I also saw that nvidia itself recommends a 650w power supply w/ the 2070s
