Rx 5700 + Ryzen 3500 throttle?

[pomgod]

Will a Ryzen 3500 + RX 5700 have throttling issues?

Note: Ryzen 3500 is also known as Ryzen 3500x in China and some western countries.

 

 

According to these 2 sites the answer is  NO.

Should I go ahead with the combo?

Should be fine

Bottleneck? Unless you plan on going 240FPS in Fortnite all Low settings or exclusively play Battlefield 5, no, the 3500 will keep up just fine. 

 

Have you considered going with a 3600 and 5600XT instead though? The 14Gbps vBIOS models, like the Sapphire Pulse or Powercolor Red Dragon, are super close in terms of performance to the 5700, but with the 3600 you're getting double the threads.

The Ryzen 3600 has a 40% price difference compared to the ryzen 3500 here in India, so it is outside my budget.

Regarding the 5600XT I did see this  -  https://www.pcgamer.com/amd-radeon-rx-5600-xt-review/

So, yes I might consider that too but in India tech is horribly overpriced. So, ya, let's see.

bottleneck? technically there is always a bottleneck, some workloads are cpu bottle necked and other's are gpu,  in a sense that the 3500 will slow down the 5700, then no the 3500 will be fine for the most part. 

what about the 3300x/3600? what are they priced at? also consider the 5600xt, like a pulse model which comes with flashed with the new firmware, they're basically a 5700 with a smaller frame buffer.

The 3300x is similarly priced as the 3500. 153 USD approx. I have already purchased the 3500 and will purchase the GPU towards end of the year. India doesn't get sales like Black Friday etc. for tech so just saving up for the GPU.

If you're still not planning on getting the GPU now. Just wait for ampere and big Navi which should be released/ announced later the year.

The problem is if I wait for any latest tech especially stuff like GPUs , the price difference is usually always huge. So , I will anyway not be able to buy it. For e.g.

if we compare prices of the MSI Radeon RX 5600 XT MECH OC Graphics Card now which is not even the latest and greatest. the difference is even more huge when products are new in the market.

 

US price - https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1557851-REG/msi_radeon_rx_5600_xt.html  ( via PCpartpicker)  -    290 USD

Indian price -   https://www.primeabgb.com/online-price-reviews-india/msi-radeon-rx-5600-xt-mech-oc-6gb-gddr6-gaming-graphic-card/   -  452 USD

Difference is  - 162 USD and this after checking at the cheapest online offering for the card in India.  

Hence, moral of the story - No latest GPUs for the avg Indian monthly wage earner.

But thanks for the tip anyway. Will see how it works out.
