Question i7 6500u 3080/6800xt

[Tasobruheee]

razor blade stealth with 6800xt
the 3080 is about the same performance so i’ll just use it as reference.
if i was going to put a 3080 inside of a razor core and connect it to my razor blade stealth 4k display with i7 6500u. how much bottleneckint there be? because i know the higher the resolution the less the cpu matters but i know there will still be a lot of bottlenecking and all of that. anything will help and thank you for your time

While the cpu will be the bottleneck in most cases, the effect will be lessened in 4k.

There is a whole nother problem though.
The thunderbolt cable.

The rtx 3080 is close to being bottlenecked by 16x gen 3 speeds, so 4x is not gonna be good for it.

I found this post with a translation for a chinese video talking about the subject

The main thing to take is:
The 3080 using 4 lanes is worse than the integrated MAX Q rtx 2080. (max q meaning, its a clocked down 2080.)

I understand that but im not going to purchase a laptop with a 2080 max q. Id rather purchase a gpu that I can use in my laptop and my pc depending on the situation.

Just use a ryzen 5600x desktop when that releases rather than using an old inefficient mobile i7 so there will be no bottleneck

i have an r5 3600 rn and i’m not planning on switching it for a while. i was asking abt the bottleneck because i’ll be using it with thwt cpu when i’m out and about
