Question Bottlenecking question!

[KosmoLMAO]

I just got the rx6600 that I ordered today, and I was wondering, will I have a bottleneck with an i5-8500?

Seems like a decent pair: https://pc-builds.com/bottleneck-ca...42/counter-strike-global-offensive/1920x1080/

Doesn't matter if I select a CPU heavy game like Counter Strike or a GPU heavy game like Tomb Raider, the bottlenecks are about 2% or less. Doesn't get much better than that..

As long as you don't expect 200FPS on Ultra settings, this is a perfect budget pair.

Bottleneck calculators are complete trash.

Depending on the game you play one part will limit your performance. Don't stress it just enjoy your new card.

What frame rate are you trying to run at?

I am trying to run at 120frames per second, but that s not the problem, voltage goes up, fps goes up, my problem is the voltage staying at 21

Are you using the latest version, stats are not always reported correctly for new hardware.

Does it stutter at 60 FPS? Also what's your CPU usage when running at 120hz?

[/QI am on 75hz, but I like to cap at 120fps, not cpu or gpu usage is at full 99% if I remember correctly cuz now I m playinf callisto protocol, in callisto protocol my gpu is at 97 98% and cpu is at 50
