[SOLVED] Will RTX 3070 bottleneck my Ryzen 7 2700?

[rizzauliarahman]

Hello, I need some help with my plan of GPU upgrade. I'm not sure whether I should upgrade my GPU (currently GTX 1070) to RTX 3070. I'm afraid it would bottleneck or even incompatible with my build. And most importantly, I can't upgrade anything beside GPU, because my budget is tight, so please don't say "upgrade your blabla and then buy RTX 3070".

My current build:
AMD Ryzen 7 2700
AsRock B450M Steel Legend
Seasonic FOcus Plus Platinum PX-850

Thanks 🙂

depend on your resolution.

if you play 1440p or more or VR, you will see improvements.
dont expect 150 fps though

Ah yes. I'll play on 1440p, and no VR. But the main problem is, will it bottleneck?

It will be a good match at 1440p but 1080p will bottleneck. At 1440p your looking at an average of 110 FPS across all titles maxed out. 2700 will work excellent with 3070 at 1440p

At 1440p the chance of the cpu limiting performance is significantly reduced. At 1080p it would be far more likely. However don’t get too hung up on the word ‘bottleneck’, even the best systems will cpu bottleneck in certain circumstances. It only matters if there is a significant bottleneck and even then it really only means you are not getting the full potential of the gpu.

Thank you sir for your compact and clear answer. It is really helpful 🙂
