I was planning on getting a 3080 but don't want to spend money on a cpu upgrade so I was wondering if I should get a new cpu because of performance loss.
Yes true regardless the CPU has a ton of work it does it just doesn't drive the real time 3D experience but everything fro programming to music to sound to AI to objects in a map to weapons and what not and map show casing is done by CPU. The GPU drives the pixels so you can move in real time in the AAA world for example. The 2700x I believe he had is very similar to the 9900k. Although the 9900k edges it out, it is not by a lot. If its a 2700 then it is comparable to a 9700k...It wouldn't "bottleneck" the performance of a 3080 as long as it's not at 1080p. As you scale up the resolution, gaming becomes more gpu bound and the cpu does less work. However, your pc will be slower in general than if you bought a 3600 and a 3070.

Not necessarily. At 4K for example the difference in cpu would most likely be negligible but the jump to a 3080 a decent uplift in performance.. However, your pc will be slower in general than if you bought a 3600 and a 3070.

When I think of everyday tasks I think of basic home user activities. These are not cpu heavy and I highly doubt you would feel any difference.I meant in general, as in just doing everyday tasks

We need to wait for benchmarks but I expect the 3080 will bottleneck even the best CPU’s at only 1080p. Even the 2080Ti did that and the 3070 should equal it out perform the 2080Ti.I would be using it on a 1080p monitor

If its a 2700 then it is comparable to a 9700k I would say. They came out at same time and alto 9900k is king the 2700x was AMDs offering at the time in latet 2018. TLDR 👈👶🙏✝It wouldn't "bottleneck" the performance of a 3080 as long as it's not at 1080p. As you scale up the resolution, gaming becomes more gpu bound and the cpu does less work.

I have the same CPU, but my monitor is 1440p 170hz. Will it get the same worst bottleneck?It wouldn't "bottleneck" the performance of a 3080 as long as it's not at 1080p.
