rx 5600 xt cpu pairing

[Arrogath]

Looking for some opinions, I picked up a 5600xt with some spare cash and tossed it into my 4790k mini-itx build for the time being, curious how bottlenecked you guys think this is going to be if I keep my graphics settings cranked.

Eventually this gpu will be finding a new home with a more appropriate cpu pairing, but for the time being it's going into the TV gaming/entertainment box

depends on the game, but I doubt it will be anywhere significant

There is going to be a bottle neck but nothing too crazy I would say. Maybe if you went with a newer CPU, 5%? As long as the video card is hitting 100% usage I think you will be fine. I ran a 3770k @4.5GHz till recently with my GTX 1070 and didn't notice a huge upswing in performance. That was after going to a 3600x.

Barely to none, depends GREATLY on the games you play, like always.
Few examples exist to ruin the "Barely to None"

If you crank details your prob fine for the most part GPU bound.
The GTX1070/1660S/5600XT is brilliant for the HIGH-Frequency 8threaded beasts.
Some select titles will have issues giving full GPU usages.
Assassins Creed Odyssey (Fish Market on first islands) (So many objects and whatever , 70-100% CPU usages drop GPU usages, #SelectArea's)
Battlefield V in many instances at highFPS. I could be averaging 120-144fps and i'll get a snag down to 85-90fps for seconds,..seen in stats,....and back up...

You have to look up the games you play and do some comparative research before you buy.

I kind of figured, but just wanted a quick sanity check to make sure. Already bought the card since I have future plans for it, just running some benchmarks now to make sure all the parts are working properly

Only big downside is that since it's a tight itx build there's no thermal headroom to overclock the cpu, barely manages multicore enhancement and undervolts like junk. Runs some pretty sweet 2400 cl10 ram though

Should still be fine.

I was a bit disturbed by this video where someone with a 3770 + RTX 2070 was showing a truly horrible cpu bottleneck in Shadow of the Tomb Raider (see the 4:00 mark). Though I wonder if maybe him turning on RTX added to the cpu load? Kind of sobered me up on the thought of buying a 2070 Super to pair with my Xeon E3-1231v3 (basically i7-4770 minus 100 MHz). I realize even at stock your 4790k is still going to run about 17% higher clock than a 3770 and 5600 XT is about 15% lower perf than a 2070, but this might give you a ballpark idea.
