[SOLVED] is ryzen 5 2600 good enough for rtx 2070 super 1080p 144hz

[apeingape]

will the ryzen 5 2600 be a bottleneck? if so should i buy the ryzen 5 3600 instead?

( want to play 1080p 144 hz consistent )

No CPU will give your 1080p/144hz constantly. In general the 3600 will give you about 10% better fps in games over the 2600.

With a bit of an over clock yes! It would be fine. Not really what you call a bottleneck per se. Whether you hit 144hz consistently is another question altogether.

It's game dependent, game settings dependant, ram dependent (you should have 2 x 8gb 3000mhz+ ram to push the best out of Ryzen.

List the rest of your PC specs, so we can make a more accurate reply.

That's not exactly accurate. Yes to the Ryzen 3600, no to the 144hz/fps constantly. It really is dependent on a number of factors.

The 3600 is going to get you there, more consistently, than a 2600 will.

There are a lot of demanding games and poorly optimized games that any CPU on the market today wont consistently hit 144hz.

My apologies, feelinfroggy777, i misread your post. I though it started with 'No, CPU will hit 144hz constantly' - as in, the CPU will defo hit 144hz I should have put my glasses on!!!

Having re-read your post, yes, I agree, too many variables for accurate answer. Including all those things I mentioned. So I completely agree, and will learn to get my old man glasses on before posting!

The 2600 will work just fine with the 2070...the 3600 will drive the 2070 a bit harder but I doubt you'll ever notice the difference between 100 or 115 fps anywhere but a benchmark...in actual gaming the differences would be so small as to be unnoticeable, especiallly on a gsync or freesync monitor.
