Is a Ryzen 9 3900x and a RTX 2080 a good match?

[Momosour]

Im thinking of upgrading my pc, I mainly will be doing game development, 3d modeling, sculpting, animation, and rendering. I guess my question is, will it be a bottleneck comparteded to a rtx 2080 ti?  Because id rather not spend the few hundred dollars to upgrade the gpu from a 2080 to a 2080 ti.

Rtx 2080 and ryzen 9 3900x is a good match. No bottleneck. Enjoy your pc and that glorious 3900x.

bottlenecks always depend on the exact configuration of hardware and software.  there is no definitive answer but upgrading to the 2080ti will in most cases give you extra performance.

The 2080 is hardly bad, but you'd see more performance with more graphics power so, it's up to you if you want to spend extra.

Welcome to the LTT forums! Technically any part can bottleneck any other part, it just depends on the workload. When it comes to gaming the 2080 ti and the 3900x they pair quite nicely, but this isn't gaming, this is rendering in which case all that matters is pure raw power and active memory, because generally speaking these workloads are usually set to an individual part like your CPU or GPU. When it comes to rendering a GPU is almost always faster than your CPU so if you are likely going to be working on large renders (11-16GB), your rendering engine works well with GPUs (like Blender cycles), and you are considering a 2080ti I would actually recommend purchasing 2 Radeon 7 cards, as each has twice the VRAM of a 2080 and 5 GB more than a 2080 ti allowing you to work on larger renders without having to rely on your CPU.
