1080ti bottle neck

[Lordofcheez]

I have a 1080ti only because I got a great deal on it and I was wondering if I should get a new CPU I have the Ryzen 2600 and I was wondering if I should upgrade because would bottleneck my GPU?

The 2600 should not bottleneck a 1080ti..

What resolution and refresh rate are you playing at?

ah I see I don't know how to check for bottlenecks and I only have this because I got it for 350$ used so.

I think you'll be fine. You can use MSI Afterburner's OSD to see your framerate and the utilization of your components. You can tell there's a CPU-bottleneck when you GPU has low utilization while your CPU is maxed out and running at 100% (on cores that are actually being used). 

If you have money burning a hole in your pocket and you are afraid it will set your pants on fire, you can check out a 1440p monitor, your rig is good enough. Otherwise just save the money.

 

By the way, a bottleneck isn't a problem as long as your performance is what you would like it to be!

I would suggest you learn or ask how to determine if you have one instead of blindly stating that the 2600 is bottlenecking you.

wait never mind I fucking found out with someone else and I didn't mean to state that it was bottlenecking me I meant it as a question I now realize the way I worded it. It does sound like it is bottlenecking me WHOOPS
