2600 and 2080? Is it a large bottleneck.

[WoodyWoo]

I just recently acquired a and 2600, msi B450 Tomahawk and a msi 2080 Ventus. For a good deal. I'm worried the 2600 is a bit to underpowered. I've read that I can get an 8% bottleneck but I don't know is that's really bad or not. Should I sell the 2080 and go for something a little less powerful or sell both the 2080 and 2600 and get something like a 2070 and 2700?

you will have zero issues with CPU bottlenecking.

Nah, "bottlenecking" is overrated, if you will be gaming, it should be fine.

Your computer will always be bottlenecked, to what extent is dependent on the task you're doing.

Thanks I was a little worried I got ripped off

Bottlenecks and “ripped off” are not closely related.

 

A huge bottleneck at the CPU might not affect the experience.

 

For a person wanting a quieter rig, the extra cost of a GPU that runs under less stress and quieter might be worth the cost.

 

Bottlenecks are only an issue if your experience is affected, otherwise it’s just a system statistic.

I'm interested to see the thing that made you think such.

I would expect it’s the natural thought process relating to “Am I getting value for money”.

 

Its natural to review a large purchase and sometimes feel you may not have got it right. Often it’s too early to tell that unless you really goofed!

 

Also it depends on the lens through which you view the purchase, a builder of a PC wanting to ensure they get the power they were expecting runs benchmarks etc.

 

If you flip that around and say “Am I getting the experience I want” you may find you don’t need to ensure nothing holds your system back as you can get by with a slightly OP GPU at the settings you want, and maybe find it runs quiet and stable.

 

A good example is beefy cooler GPUs, just because you can OC them doesn’t mean you should, it might be better to clock them down and run them ultra quiet!

The guy had just bought the stuff and was already selling it. i thought he ran into problems

One should read reviews. That's how I determine if I'm getting value for my money.

I meant the "8%" bottleneck part. Where did you read that? Only way to check something like that would be to use another CPU, and preferably same mobo.

Bottlenecking is not bad.

 

Not getting the performance you want is. Worry about that part first.

Ok, that's just misleading. As they don't specify how that result is being calculated.
