Is a ryzen 5 1600 a bottleneck for gtx 1070?

[Bezalel6]

I am about to build my first gaming pc and my budget allows me to buy ryzen 5 1600 and  a 1070 and i dont know if the cpu will bottlneck the gpu...

 

[IdiotPenguin]

Probably not

[Morgan MLGman]

No, it's not. That is a good combination.

Ryzen is going to run the average AAA game at about 100fps, but did you buy anything yet?

 

If not what budget/country and what do you need the PC?

 

What monitor resolution/refresh rate?

Will not bottleneck in the slightest.

i have a 1600 and 1070, performance is good. but i have run into some slight stuttering in AC Origins

No, it is not at all. You could even step up to a 1070 Ti or 1080 - in fact given the current prices of the 1070 and 1070 Ti I'd go for that given that it performs more or less like a 1080

Everything can be a ""bottleneck"", depending on the use case. Thats why a year ago +- it was the "bottleneck plague" on the forums, where ppl would argue anything and everything is a bottleneck.

That being said, it is an excellent pair of components, and that is what you should aim for: a balancead, coherent build. Go for it.

i used to have a i5 6400, that actually bottlenecked my gpu, also a gtx 1070, i now have a 2700x, and the gpu can run smoothly at 100% with the cpu running at 70-60%

perfect!

 

so, you should be good

Depends you want 1080p or 1440p or 4k ?1080p pushes the load more cpu but 1440p and 4k pushes the game gpu.But really in most games right now nothing of yours could bottleneck.

I want to run it in a 144 hz monitor

What resolution, and graphics settings ?

And did you monitor CPU and GPU usage ?

1440p, but reduced rendering res to 90%. settings at high/medium 

 

yeah i was monitoring. cpu usage was around 80-90% and gpu usage is lower

clearly cpu bottleneck then not big bot clearly noticeable

ill check with a 6700k see if its the same in AC originis

You should be fine but honestly how tight is your budget? The 1600X is really not that much more and definitely worth it (400Mhz faster base clock speed for only $20 more - that's a 12.5% clock speed jump but only a 6.67% price jump).

 

Unless you're getting a non-X Ryzen on a really good sale (this is actually the only reason I own a 2700 and not a 2700X, as I was able to get $100 off the 2700), the X variants are always better value (typically only being about $20-30 CAD more depending on the model for a 400-500 Mhz jump in base clock speed).

Or you could spend nothing and overclock it (or even use the auto OC tool) to get it above the 1600X in speeds to 4 or 4.1Ghz.
