[SOLVED] Will a Ryzen 5 3600 bottleneck a rtx 2070 super?

Question in title.
Thanks.

Remember that "bottleneck" is a bit of a misleading term.

Technically there is no "balance" and every system has a bottleneck, and that bottleneck changes by application. What games are you mainly playing and what is your monitor resolution and refresh rate?

Overall however, I would suspect it would be a good combination, but if you're running 1080p, the RTX2070 is probably overkill. Equally if you're running CPU intensive games (like Civ for example) then an RTX2070 would not be necessary.

Thanks for your reply. I am planning to run 1080p but trying to go for 144fps ultra. I was wondering if it would be better to go for a more expensive cpu or will there not be a noticeable difference (less than like 10 fps).

The 3600 is an excellent CPU and will be quite happy in nearly all games at 1080p +
However if you're not streaming you may find the RX5700XT is better value for money.

Overall it's probably more than you need for 1080p - but if you wanted to shift to 1440p at some point, it's a good shout. An RTX 2060 would probably do the job at 1080p 144Hz too depending on the games.
