[SOLVED] Will Ryzen 5 2600 bottleneck RTX 2080?

I want to buy a RTX 2080 GPU and i have a Ryzen 5 2600. Will the Ryzen make a bottleneck with RTX 2080?

Yes, to some degree, depending on the game. If it's a game that's highly optimized for threaded performance then it will likely do well. Titles that are much more reliant on a strong single or only few core performance, are likely going to suffer somewhat because the Ryzen cores are not particularly strong. Even an old Ivy bridge Intel CPU has stronger single core performance than the current Ryzen CPUs.

I would have no problems with pairing that graphics card with that CPU though, and considering there are new and compatible CPUs coming out shortly, you could always upgrade the CPU while keeping the rest of your platform, at some point, if you find it is lacking.

In addition to the above a lot depends on the resolution you run. The higher the resolution the less likely you will notice any bottleneck.

I want to play at 1440p.

I doubt you will notice any bottleneck, if you do it really won’t be enough to worry about.

Plenty of people with that exact configuration and very few complaints about performance.
