GTX1080ti ?

[mcastelli256]

First of all I'm sorry if the wrong forum but I've never used one so plz don't be mad.

However I was wondering if some of you could tell me if I'm bottlenecking my gaming pc with a ryzen 5 2600x and a GTX1080 ti and only 8gb of rams, I'm pretty sure I need an upgrade for rams but what about the cpu ?

I know that this build isn't very balanced (I even have 550w psu, it gold but it's not enough power) but I completely didn't expect to get a gtx1080ti, I got it for a sorta of error, long story.

I've been running a 1080Ti with 1700 (not even overclocked) for a couple years now without an issue of a bottleneck.  RAM's probably going to be your first bottleneck in both capacity and potentially speed (depending on what RAM you currently have, 1 or 2 sticks, etc.)

I actually have 2x4gb rams from ballistix at 2666 but with xmp at 3200 at the moment so only capacity should be the problem right ? and wow that answer was freaking fast.

Use something like MSI Afterburner to keep an eye on your CPU, GPU and RAM usage while gaming - if any of them is peaked constantly in games, that's your bottleneck.

It will be subjective based on what games/applications your run, what you need to run concurrently, etc.  At some point one of those parts may not fit your needs.  My money's on your RAM capacity limitations annoying you before anything else.
