So my current system is running a Ryzen 7 2700X, GTX 1080 Ti, 16 GB of TridentZ RGB running at 3200 MHz, and an Asus X370-F motherboard. I use my machine for gaming at very high/ultra settings and general web browsing such as YouTube and Google. Will I experience any sort of bottlenecking with the CPU and GPU or vice versa?

Why not test it.

 

Get Heaven bench.

Set it to 1080p, ultra quality, extreme tessellation, anti aliasing off and full screen off.

 

Get MSI Afterburner. Move the power limit slider all the way to whatever number your card supports(120%, 130%). 

Scroll down to the power graph so you can watch in real time.

 

Run Heaven in a window. 

 

If you can reach the power limit of the card you are not bottlenecking.

If your card does not bottleneck, add 4x AA and test again. If still not bottlenecking set AA to 8x.

 

Repeat the test at 1440p.

 

You can test any game like this as well since you can see the power limit graph after you play.

What display settings? the R7 2700X can bottleneck a GTX 1080 Ti if you target stuff like 1080p144hz/240hz where you will shift too much work into the CPU rather than the GPU.

In 1080p, you might be able to notice that your CPU might not let you push high FPS of more than what you expect in an Intel counterpart. But for 1440p, now that's gettin' real noice because as you shift to higher resolutions the FPS will scale less; like if you are gaming in 1080p in a certain game you'd get 100+ FPS, raise the roof a bit and the FPS drops to 70-90 FPS. Now, that might sound bad for compensating bigger resolution for greater view, but at this point the gap between AMD & Intel CPUs gets closer giving you a more even comparison. Will it bottleneck? Maybe at 1080p but never in 1440p, I never considered it as a bottleneck because of its lower IPC relative to Intel.

Depends on the game. You will most certainly experience bottle-necking in particular single threaded games such as Fortnite and CSGO...

Clicked on the very first video on YouTube when searching for Ryzen 7 2700X GTX 1080 Ti Fortnite.
