That is totally true, but i would like to not have to upgrade in nearly 5 years, since about then i will probably lose interest in gaming. Also looking at benchmarks it seems that the cpu usage with the ryzen 5 3600 and rtx 2080 is almost maxed out. Which means i cannot do much else at the same time. Since i am constantly managing stuff on my pc while gaming i would like there to be a gap for cpu usage needed for those applications.

I would like to be set with this setup for at least 5 years, that's why i bought the rtx 2080. Are you really sure that the Ryzen 5 3600 will be able to handle all games with the rtx 2080. I have been bottlenecked for the last two years and i am very scared to have a bottleneck once again. I do NOT want to upgrade in the next 2-3 years. I have found a 450 board that looks promising to me. It's the Asus ROG Strix B450-F Gaming. Is this a good choice to go for? I think my final decision would be the Asus ROG Strix B450-F Gaming, Ryzen 7 3700x and 16GB 3600Mhz ram. Is this a good coice, i would appreciate hard criticism so i know if i need to change anything. Thank you!

I my country the price difference between 3600MHz and 3200MHz is very low and i will choose the 3600MHz i think. Thanks for your reply! That is indeed what i all have, but i am not planning on selling these and instead build it back together with my old GTX 970 and give it away. Are you sure this cpu will be able to fulfill my GPU in gaming. I also program form time to time, i might need a good cpu to run tests. I am having a set budget i don't want to go over but i also don't want to go under to cheap out. Is this downgrade really that tiny? I'm probably going to upgrade within a few years normally. So are you sure a b450 board is gonna be able to support these upgraded cpu's? I also really like to have a Motherboard that i know is pretty good together with my other parts. Thank you for your reply too! These three parts cost 640$ in my country, and i would like to not go over 800$

Hello guys, At this point in time with the lockdown i decided to finally upgrade my pc. I have an rtx 2080, i7 6700, 16GB 2133MHz and a very cheap old motherboard. Now it's very obvious that my GPU is being bottlenecked, and i am definitely noticing this in my gaming sessions. For this upgrade i'm planning to buy a Ryzen 7 3700X, 16GB 3600MHz and a Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite. My question i've been stuck with the last week is if this really is a good choice with my limited budget. I would like to reach that 144fps on most games, and am fine with having 60 on demanding ones, which i know my GPU can do. Are there any changes i need to make or buy a 3200MHz ram, or even go for the i7 9700k which is 120$ more expensive in my country. Thanks for reading! I really appreciate any help since i am not all too known with pc parts.

Are you sure it's a CPU bottleneck? since on some other games i have 100% GPU usage. For example R6 & Battlefield 4/1/5

I use a 128x pack, but when choosing other ones, it is the same problem. And shaders are 3 different ones, but i like Sildurs Shaders the most. What do you mean?

Dear Forum, After going back to playing minecraft and installing shaders and strong texture packs my game seems to be lagging badly. I get around 30-60fps. While my GPU and CPU usages are both around 20%. I also have a 144hz monitor so it looks REALLY bad. My pc specs are: - i7-6700(non-k) - RTX 2080 - 16GB RAM - H110M PRO-D - 600W PSU I don't know what might cause this but would really appreciate help! Thank you! Dafuuq

Yeah makes sence, i just hoped it would be as much as the "pro's" since i want to have a clean game, i ain't no pro and am luckily not playing alot and starting to dislike, so hopefully it will be usefull in games i do like Thanks for helping me out here, i think i will not upgrade anything so far, but might in the future

Yeah i did some Watt usage looking and it should be fine with my current pc. I just think Fortnite is really badly optimized compared to Battlefield. Cause i just can't get both the cpu usage and gpu usage above 50% in that game on low settings which feels like i'm playing on lower fps than with my GTX 970, sucks that this 800 euro gpu hasn't fixed my fps issues

Okay, that makes sense, i already figured out i can't overclock my CPU. Which means a CPU upgrade, but like you said, my mdb is not supporting that. So the best thing to do is a Motherboard upgrade and a CPU upgrade, I was looking at the asus rog z370-f gaming and think a good CPU upgrade might be a i7-8700K so it's atleast worth it. Also are you sure my 600W psu will support this?

So for example in Fortnite, The fps on all max is usually around 220 normally and 100-150 in high demanding areas, and 200 on all low but more like a 80-100 fps in high demanding areas. So what you mean is that CPU doesn't really make a difference on low or high settings, it's about the max amount of frame requests it can send to the GPU? Which would be more on low settings since the GPU can handle more? I am going to try CPU overclocking to see if that works out, otherwise a CPU upgrade should be a good thing to do? Also not sure if it's a mdb problem.

Dear Forum, I have no real idea where to post this or ask it, so i decided to ask it here. Right of the bat i am not really familiar with stuff like this, so i thought you guys could hopefully help me out! I've had a new GPU installed for the last 2 weeks, the RTX 2080 to replace my old GTX 970. My pc specs are: - i7-6700(non-k) - RTX 2080 - 16GB RAM - H110M PRO-D (Really standard mb i know..) - 600W PSU The big problem i'm getting is something y'all probably heard of is A underperforming GPU. Getting less fps on lower settings than on high. In games like Battlefield 1, 4 & 5 and Singleplayer games where i always prefer the highest settings my GPU usage is 90-100% which is great! (With a 80% CPU) At great temps! (GPU ~80°C max) But games like Rainbow Six Siege & Fortnite for example the usage on high is only 40% on gpu (all max) and 30% cpu with kinda ok fps but on low settings it gets as bad as 20% gpu and 40% cpu. Temps are fine but fps isn't. As it's higher on high settings than low because of the usage. I have a 180hz monitor which i like to use even in highly demanding areas in the game. But it's not good to play at 80-100 fps there (it feels laggy). What i tried: Fresh windows 10 reinstall with all drivers up to date, overclocking gpu, running different benchmarks (which look fine there, but not in games) This can be an obvious cpu bottleneck for you guys, but like i said, i have no clue! I will answer all you guys ask for. Thanks for helping!
