Question RTX 2080 TI & Ryzen 5 1600X, Bottleneck?

[jadow77]

Hi!

Anyone here knows if a RTX 2080 TI would get bottlenecked by a Ryzen 5 1600X ? And if so would it be by much?

Depends on the game and resolution but if you have that 1600 overclocked in the 3.8-4.0ghz range and are gaming at 4K/60hz then it would probably be ok. Any lower of a resolution will probably result in the CPU holding back the performance quite a bit.

It is though a bit of a odd pairing ($150 CPU with $1200 GPU).

The pairing is because I just upgraded the graphic card but using my old CPU (Not overclocked btw) still.

I'm testing with Assasins creed unity and when running it on the highest settings and 4K/60hz i get around 38-48 FPS.
when lowering resolution to 2560x1440 i get perfect 60 FPS.

Do you think overclocking or buying better CPU would yield better FPS on 4K?

What is your CPU & GPU usage at 4K?

Overclocking it should give you more FPS but I'm not sure how much more.

Absolutely. Even 2700x causes some bottleneck in some cases with 2080ti. If i were you i would get an 9600k (with a nice motherboard) with 2070 for much less price and smoother experience.

Graphics card is around 94-98%
and CPU 30-50%

No CPU bottleneck with the usage.

This being said though it wouldn't hurt to consider a 3rd gen if the performance per core is significantly higher but we won't know until release and testing can be done.

They already have the parts since they were testing the combo with AC: Unity at 4K & 1440P.

Try other games, AC: Unity was a disaster initially and still performs pretty terrible even with high end hardware.

I can't afford a new MB & CPU for a while anyways, I had to sell my mother to buy this graphic card....

Is it not strange though that this card can't run 4k 60fps on a game released 2014?

It was & still is terribly optimized. I had a 4770K/1080 ti previously and could barely get 60 FPS on high/ultra settings at 2560x1080P. I've been hesitant to try it again as I only have a 2600/RX 580.

Will try more tomorrow, thanks for your inputs.

If this is a 4k monitor then everything is ok. I thought its 1080p or something
