Bottleneck too hard ?

So the PC of my gf got an i3-8100 paired with a RX5700XT. I wont be to specific on the specs since i dont think there is a need for it.

Well as we all know the R5700XT got its problems and mostly the solutions to these suck and are complicated for people, who dont play around with their PC.

I am going to switch her RX5700XT with my RTX2080 TI. 

So is that going to be a problem for the i3-8100 ?

Monitor Resolution 2540x1440

Its my firs post so sorry for my mistakes.

If you have that budget, just switch out the cpu. Its pretty much a funnel.

Im with the mentaility of "IF IM NOT SURE IF ITS ENOUGH COOLING, GO OVERKILL"

 

CURRENT PC SPECS    

CPU             : Ryzen 5 3600 (Formerly Ryzen 3 1200)

GPU             : ASUS RX 580 Dual OC (Formerly ASUS GTX 1060 but it got corroded for some odd reasons)

GPU COOOER      : ID Cooling Frostflow 120 VGA (Stock cooler overheats even when undervolted :()

MOBO            : MSI B350m Bazooka

MEMORY          : Team Group Elite TUF DDR4 3600 Mhz CL 16
STORAGE         : Seagate Baracudda 1TB and Kingston SSD
PSU             : Thermaltake Lite power 550W (Gonna change soon as i dont trust this)
CASE            : Rakk Anyag Frost
CPU COOLER      : ID-Cooling SE 207
CASE FANS       : Mix of ID cooling fans, Corsair fans and Rakk Ounos (planned change to ID Cooling)

Oof the RX 5700XT is already being bottlenecked by the i3-8100, you won't gain any performance by using the RTX 2080 Ti, but if you're doing it to get around these issues then I guess go ahead? shouldn't cause severe stutters as long as you're using Vsync

your cpu already hugely botllenecks the 5700XT you wont get any better performance with rtx 2080 ti.

upgrading your cpu will get you better performance.

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.

Well i am not having that much of a budget. It hurts my wallet :D. I am asking cause i wanted to get around the part of buying a new CPU since a new PSU was already needed. If i am not going to get around it, what CPU would you advise me to use ?

First, what games is your gf playing as a 2080 ti is overkill for most things at 1440p!? But I would recommend at least an i7 or Ryzen 7 processor with that graphics card as what you have there is a massive bottleneck!

 

 

Well mostly BL3 and Overwatch but Overwatch crashes after every match. I am going to use the rx5700xt cause i didnt get to fix the problems on her PC. And i have more time trying to find a fix on my PC. I7 wouldnt that be an overkill also switching ryzen would be really cool but that would cost lots of money since switching mobo and CPU

With a 5700Xt then an i5 would not have a massive bottleneck but if you went with a 2080 ti, then an i5 would still work i guess but you would get much better performance with an i7. The i3 in her PC at the moment is probably the reason for the crashes.

an i5 9600K is good, about $200 or 200 pounds in the uk or if you have the money, an i7 9700K (but it is over $300)

Now for 1440p something like ryzen 7 3700x will do.. If you want 1-5% more performance than ryzen 7 3700x i9 9900k / i9 9900ks will do.

For the price of i9 9900k you can get ryzen 9 3900x. It has 4 more cores and 8 more threads and it is very similar to i9 9900k in gaming because of its huge cache.

Since the i3-8100 uses DDR4 then in that case get a B450 board with a Ryzen 5 1600 AF for around 150$, it costs much less than buying an 8th/9th gen i7 upgrade because they're still overpriced.

Yes those would be better but then he would have to upgrade his mobo too as it is intel so would end up costing more....

his mobo isnt probably going to handle something like i7 9700k. Since he has i3 8100

 

 

 

What mobo does OP exactly have?

Its an Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 3 Z370. 

And thx to all your nice answers !

Personally I would look around for an i7-8700 non k or if those are too expensive i5-8400 should be cheap but it won't be relevant as long...

So just to confirm.

I tried gaming with the i3-8100 paired with the rtx2080 ti and i get on 1440p and badass settings round about 80FPS so bottleneck is not that strong.

Only drawback i found was that, when i teleported to another map the game lagged and cpu ramped up to 100% but only for about 5 sec.

Better CPU will give me better performance but i dont think that it will make such a huge difference
