Will this combo be a bottleneck?

When doing what...?

What leads you to think they would?

Gaming, streaming? Idk I was watching a video and this guy was dropping frames really bad on apex legends... I just want to make sure that the combo will work good before spending money.

every hardware combo will bottleneck to some degree. you will be fine with that combo for gaming and streaming. for future reference all hardware needs to be taken into account for bottleneck

If you have that combo & either is pegged @ 100% load, you'll have a bottleneck.

It can also depend on the resolution your game is being played at...

Well I’ll be playing at 1080p and at high settings. Just trying to get high settings at 144fps.

in general there's a 5-10% bottleneck between the 3600 and 3700x in some games because of the core diff, and another 5-10% diff between the 3700x and 10600k (both with memory tune), it's up to u to decide whether that's worth 100 or 200usd diff in ur total build cost, trying to find an apex bench atm, check back.

Alright. I was wanting to keep the 3600 because the 6 cores and 12 threads is enough for what I’m going to do.

Based on that ^^^^ I'd say you're pretty safe.

you are not going to 100% your cpu with apex legends, adding streaming onto this may raise your usage but it wont cause a bottleneck.

also the question you are asking is while this hardware be able to handle the load im throwing at it not will it bottleneck

I’ll be playing Apex, MW 2019, Skyrim, Minecraft, Terraria, and a few other games. All at 1080p with high(er) settings. I just want the game to be good looking, but also get that smooth 144fps.

@iVulkuun - found this, too:

Reliability - unknown.

Yeah... I’ll be playing a bunch of games at high settings and try to get the 144fps for 144hz. I have an rx 580 right now that handles 144hz but all games have to be at very low to even get close to 120fps.

only a small youtube channel covered apex and it's with stock clocks but for 1080p you should be fine (u can still see the cpu/mem botttleneck but it should be above 144 min for a 2070S)

 

 

this is the overall benchmark i was referring to

 

i think 3600 is the go to choice for anything 2070S and below, so i just wanted to make sure,i've been doing memory tuning lately and the diff is kinda insane.

I have a 3600 and a 2070 Super. You will be able to get 144 fps in Apex and Warzone. I do, but I don't max my settings because I haven't tried. In Apex with highish settings I easily get over 144 fps.
