Will my Ryzen 7 1800x bottleneck a 2070 or 1070ti?

planning to buy a 2070 or a 1070ti, these are my specs right now GPU: GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, AMD Ryzen 7 1800X, 8 GB RAM

You have to realise that a bottleneck will always be present no matter what, it all depends on what you're doing.

 

At higher resolutions CPU's aren't as important as the GPU will be the the deciding factor on your FPS.

 

In your case an 1800X should be completely fine for either a 2070 or 1070ti(you should get the 2060 instead of the 1070ti btw).

 

I'd upgrade that RAM to 16GB and add an SSD as a boot drive (if you haven't already) and get a 2060 instead of getting the 2070. If your RAM is below 3000MHz, I'd sell the 8GB now and get a 16GB kit(2 x 8GB) which is at least 3000MHz.

The 8 Gb of memory is more of an issue.

 

You'll be fine otherwise. Unless you're playing on a 480hz screen at 540p.

High end consumer GPU plus high end consumer CPU = good combo

the answer is simple, yet complicated. wull it bottleneck? everything does somewhere

 

is it a solid combo? for sure

short answer, yes at 1080p, i'd wait for zen 2 and see what your choices are with cpu/gpu combos. 8gb ram is definitely a problem.

 

If your monitor is only 60hz then there's no bottleneck from the cpu.

Right now, depending on where you live, I'd look at Vega sales as well. They are rather cheap right now and can be obtained for like 300€ for VEGA 56, if you're lucky, you can get a 64 for 400€.
