Will a Ryzen 7 1700 8 Core Bottleneck with a 1080 ti?

Title explains it all.

Yes there will be some amount of bottleneck in varying degrees on cpu bound tasks/games... http://www.legitreviews.com/cpu-bottleneck-geforce-gtx-1080-ti-tested-on-amd-ryzen-versus-intel-kaby-lake_192585/3

You can't really consider that a bottleneck. It is just that current Intel cpus give you for the most part, higher fps in games. Really though seeing 120fps or 100fps, there is not much difference. What you lose fps wise you gain in rendering, recording, streaming.

It will be just fine.

I believe you didnt interpret the benchmarking results or did not get to that part at all...

"It looks like the AMD Ryzen 7 1700 processor at 4GHz on all cores is actually bottlenecking the platform and therefore we get no performance scaling whatsoever by moving up to a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics card."

And that is even when OCed to 4ghz.

If it affects the way a game plays it can be considered a bottleneck. your still going to be able to play games at ultra settings with a R7 1700 and a gtx 1080ti.
Just as you would with my in about a week when I can afford the motherboard, 8600k and a 1080ti.

So yes a framerate drop, but a bottleneck? Not really, since it does not impead gameplay.

Oh I have read all the benchmarks, and I stand by what I have said. If you can play it at highest settings without a problem you are not having a bottleneck. It is however an inferior cpu for gaming compared to Intel. That does not mean that it will not play games at the highest settings when paired with a 1080ti.

Incorrect.
The definition of bottleneck is when one of the component has potential for more performance but another component is holding it out.

The query was about bottleneck, not gameplay.

 

[urbancamper]

I get what your saying, and what I am saying is slower does not always mean a bottleneck. This person is talking about pairing it with a 1080ti. People ask about bottlenecks when it relates to gaming and FPS. are you seriously going to tell me that that setup can not handle anything thrown at it with ease. you know it can. So where is the bottleneck?

 

[urbancamper]

Your setup will work just fine for whatever you want to do with it.

 

[Hellfire13]

It is not slower it is worse than rival Intel offerings at same price, specially for gaming. And for non gaming, it should be fairly ok where more cpu core scaling tasks are involved.
The setup will work, but its not an ideal pairing unless you are ready to compromise.

The answer is yes. And no. It's entirely possible to bottleneck any cpu, no matter of its Intel or AMD, no matter if it's dual core or 32 core Xeon. It's entirely dependent on the software being used.
Skyrim is a perfect example. Normally it runs @2 threads and on Intel will easily run vanilla on an old c2d. Add mods, enb etc and you can stuff an i5, even max out 3-4 threads on an i7 and cause a bottleneck simply due to the game not expanding thread count, but packing its used threads to 100%. Once those 4 threads hit 100%, it's going to slow down and bottleneck, the gpu being the victim. Intels greater IPC being a bonus, the threads are in and gone faster than with Amd, so is harder to bottleneck, but the affect remains the same, it's possible to bottleneck.

The that 1080ti and lower resolution, lower gpu settings and the card will demand higher fps, which will crunch the cpu.

So yes, you can bottleneck the R7 1700 with a 1080ti, the chances however being slimmer unless you do something dumb like lowering settings and demanding more from the cpu than it can realistically provide.

And that is precisely what i said when i posted the link.

I bought Ryzen 1700 with 16 gb 3200 mhzcl15 on March 2017 when the core i5 2500k with 12 gb 1600 mhz that i had until then burned. But kept my gtx 970g 1 gaming and 24''1440p 60 hz ips monitor, dellp2416d. Still it continues running evrything max settings with more than 30 fps so i dont have any reason to change graphics card any time. When 970 stops running max settings 1440p it will be when i will change the graphics card but it will be a long time from now. Due to that as you understand when i change graphics card it will be something much more stronger. than 1080ti. So will it have any bottleneck then? We will see

You see i didnt plan to change anything in 2017 until motherboard burned and beucase 2017 motherboards coudltn work 2011 cpu and ram(core i5 2500k and 12 gb 1600 mhz) i was forced to change cpu ram motherboard and the one of two HDDS that i had. So i went from core i5 2500k and 12 gb ddr3 1600 mhz to ryzen 1700 and 16 gb ddr 43200mhzcl15 I had a 1TB HDD and a 320 GB HDD. the 320 gb couldnt work on the ASUSX370RPIME PRO so i got a WD BLACK 4 TB to repalce it. Kept DELLP2416D(24''1440P 60 HZ IPS) and GTX 970 G1 GAMING 4 GB. Still runs evrything max setting 1440p at 30-35 40-40 or 60 fps(depends on the game). So my next upgrade will be gpu but not anytime soon as 970 still runs evrything 1440p max settings at 30+fps So when it happens and 970 stops running max setttings 1440p and wiill have then to change it will it be big bottelenck if by then they are cards that aree let say 200% more powerful than 1080 ti?
