Question Ryzen 5 1600 OC'ed With 2080 Bottleneck

[TrashComputerBuilder88]

Hello, I am wondering if as Ryzen 5 1600 Overclocked to 3.85 Ghz on stock cooler will be powerful enough to achieve little no indistinguishable bottleneck with a Rtx 2080

Yes there will still be a bottleneck.

How many frames do you think will drop in popular eSports titles like Fortnite, CS;GO, Overwatch? (1080p)

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Those games you mentioned will all run great with that CPU and card.

Alright cool, so looking at 240 frames easily? I'm looking in upgrading to a rtx 2080 and 240hz monitor so just want to make sure its worth as I'm gonna upgrade my Ryzen 5 1600 to the next ryzen 4th gen when is comes out (if it does)

Might not get 240fps, but certainly a lot.

I wouldn't expect to run 240fps with a near 3 year old mid range cpu.

A ryzen 5 3600 would be a good upgrade.

On low:

Ryzen 3600 + 2070 Super, on high:

On low:

FYI, RTX 2080 was replaced by 2070 Super.

So should I get a 2070 Super or 2080 to achieve 240 fps with a ryzen 5 1600 in those eSports titles mentioned?

CPU sets max FPS, GPU sets maximum graphics settings at which you can achieve that framerate.

The R5 1600 even with an overclock is incapable of reaching 240fps, regardless of what GPU you pair.

Since I want to wait for new gen processors I think im gonna get 2070 Super and a 240hz monitor then 2020 ill get my cpu because with the r5 1600 and 2070 super I did some research and I will get around 200 fps. Thoughts?

 

[NightHawkRMX]

Should be fine.

I doubt you will get 240 fps, even with that system.
Also if fps matter the most and 1080p, you should look into Intel more than AMD. Even if it's a i5 as long as it has a K at the end, to overclock.
Especially if prices are as high on the new Ryzen, the only ones that equal the Intel are the high end 3600 and 3600x and they don't overclock as easy and as much as Intel does out of the box even.
But yea the 1600 is very outdated and it was never close or equal to the Intel of the same caliber to begin with. The third generation Ryzen are much closer but expensive and their longevity hasn't been tested the same way Intel has been over the years.

As long as you have Gsync on your monitor, it won't matter so much. I mean I got a new laptop without gsync and it's 144Hz but even running some games at 70 fps doesn't present stuttering, which is weird. I guess you notice those more if there are HUGE DROPS in fps so you should also look for the 1% and 0.1% low fps in benchmarks.
