Question Will a Ryzen 5 3600 bottleneck a 3060ti?

[Bryson C]

I currently have a Ryzen 5 3600 over clocked at 4.1 ghz and a gtx 1660 with 16 gb of ddr4 at 3200MHz. Will I need a cpu upgrade if I invest in a 3060ti for 1440p gaming?

What games? What resolution? Expected game settings?
Probably not, except at 1080p and in very specific games at very specific settings.

I’m running a 3700x and 3080 for 1440p and it’s a great combination. For gaming there is only a small difference between the 3600 and the 3700x. With a 3060ti you will be more gpu limited.

For 1440p, your CPU is fine.
