Question Is my CPU bottlenecking?

[louishy25]

I have an AMD Ryzen 5 2600 paired with a 4gb 7008 1050 ti. Is my Cpu too strong?

No but your GPU is too weak.

Your GPU is to weak for your cpu. You will be getting a 100% bottlenecking, over 10% is considered a bottleneck. Best you could do is upgrading to a GTX 1070 or GTX 980ti that can be decently cheap on the used market. But have been gaining price due to the dram storage. I recommend you waiting till this pandemic is over to grab yourself one. Even something like a 970 would do better. Or you could downgrade to a FX 6300 that would pair perfectly with your 1050ti but might just loose some FPS since It’s a older processor and upgrading would be better.

Absolutely nothing wrong with your pairing. If you have other concerns, it might help to know what you're attempting to do with your PC.

That cannot exist, and still have a system that runs.

Why would someone do that?

Instead of worrying about the mythical and misunderstood 'bottleneck'..is there a specific performance issue you're seeing?
