[SOLVED] Will the ryzen 5 1600 bottleneck a rx 580 8gb

[cooper12310]

So im buying a ryzen 5 1600 soon but my r9 380 4gb is starting to show its age and i wants a faster gpu to go with my new cpu so will the ryzen 5 1600 bottleneck a rx 580

No, but depending on the price the RX 580 is you may want to spend alittle more and get a GTX 1660 instead. Again this is if we are talk a 20 or 30 difference, anymore then save it and get teh RX 580

The r5 1600 should handle an RX580 perfectly fine. The r5 1600 is around the same speed as a stock i5 7500 (which I had). I also had a GTX 1060 6GB paired with the i5 and there was zero bottlenecking. The RX580 performs slightly faster than a GTX 1060 and will work well in turn.
