Question Ryzen 1600 w/ GTX 1660ti Possible Bottleneck?

[spume]

Hello,

I'm trying to find out if my CPU is holding back my graphics card and how much would it improve to upgrade.

Current system:
Ryzen 1600
ASUS Prime B-450M-A
GTX 1660ti
16GB Ram 3000

Thanks for the help!

That would depend on what resolution you game at and the settings you use. But I would suspect that the Ryzen 5 1600 is still able to hold its own against the GTX 1660 Ti. I used to have a GTX 1070 with my 1600X (4GHz) and noticed no bottleneck. But I'm not a competitive gamer.

I game at 1080p and like to use ultra/high settings.

Then you are like me. The highest settings for the best appearance. You should be fine with the 1660 Ti at ultra settings. CPU bottleneck shouldn't be an issue.
