CPU bottleneck

[Sam F]

What is the best AMD CPU to use with a GeForce RTX 2080 super. I was thinking the ryzen 5 3600 but want to make sure it won’t bottle neck it.

Depends on the performance target. In most cases the 3600 should be fine.

A 3800X for the clock speed and core count. 3600x bottom line.

I will be over clocking so that will improve performance too

I’m going to be playing games in 1080p at high settings

I was wondering if a Ryzen 5 3600 works good with a RTX 2080 super for 1080p playing fortnite (high settings) without much of a bottleneck?

Make sure to quote people when you respond, this notifies them so they know when you do so.

 

Regarding your question, yeah it'll be fine. But you don't need anything near a 2080 super for 1080p gaming.

Thank you. I don’t always use it for gaming, I also render videos with it.

Of what sort? Do you really need that much power?

 

Granted if you're a heavy video editor and do NEED a system like this, something like a 3700x would be much more productive

Then you should be served quite well by the Ryzen 5 3600. It appears to be very similar in performance to an i7-8700.

 

Also, in order for people to see when you respond to their post, you need to use the quote button

there is a perfomance difference going with a higher tier ryzen CPU but it would warrant to spend the extra money if you are focused mainly in gaming

 

but if money is not an issue then hell yea why not get a 3900x or 3950x
