Question Rx 6600 Bottleneck?

[chach_1]

I am about to get a rx 6600 (upgrade from rx 570 4 gb and am wondering if it will bottleneck with my ryzen 5 2400g

Here's a test you can do to figure this out:

• Run all the games you want to run at their lowest quality settings, including the resolution. This gives you the maximum number of frames your system can generate
• Go find benchmarks or performance reviews of the RX 6600, either from websites or YouTube.
• If the RX 6600 can perform higher than the number than numbers you got from the first test, then yes, it'll be "bottlenecked"

However, if going with an RX 6600 can immensely improve performance anyway over what you have, then go for it anyway. Trying to min-max the "hardware balance" is a waste of brain power.

Upgrading to a better part, the GPU, will NOT result in worse performance.
Instead, you will be able to turn the grapics settings UP, and get more detail.

'bottleneck' is irrelevant.

So i got it and put it in today and now i am getting worse framerate than before with my other gpu on Call of Duty 2 Warzone

Are all other settings on the exact same as they were before?

Did you do a clean install of the graphics driver?

Then you're clearly doing something wrong because the RX 6600 is 68% faster than the RX 580. Did you plug your display into the card or the motherboard? If you plugged it into the motherboard, then you're using the R5-2400G's IGP.

nope i plugged it in all right but i did a benchmark on COD Modern Warfare 2 and it said that my cpu is 99% bottlneck. Im thinking i should upgrade my cpu then

What do you mean clean install

"slower" than before is not how 'bottleneck' works.

The CPU gives the framerate, the GPU applies eyecandy to those frames.

Given the same CPU and all the same settings, you should be getting the same FPS.
But given a better GPU, you can turn the graphics settings up.

That still makes no sense because your CPU would still be putting out the same number of frames that it did with the RX 580, not less. If it were completely bottlenecking the RX 6600, you'd be getting at least the same performance that you did with the RX 570, not less. For example, if you were getting 50FPS on average with the RX 570, then the CPU is capable of at least 50FPS and you would be getting at least 50FPS with the RX 6600, not less.

If what you're saying is true, then something else is causing the problem.
