why did my bottleneck go up when i upgraded from a 2600x to a 3600 with a 1080?

Curious as to why i started bittlenecking more when i upgraded from a Amd 2600x to a 3600 and have a Gigabyte 1080 WInforce.

well playing control on everything maxed out, gpu is hitting 99% and im getting between 60-63 fps. im just using the bottleneck caluclator and its telling me that betwecuase i upgraded my cpu its bottle necking more.

Bottleneck calculators are nonsense. If your GPU is sitting at 99% usage in-game, then it's fine, that's what you want.

so is it worth upgrade a gigabyte 1080 winforce ? if so what would you upgrade it to?

That means the GPU is being fully utilised. Not being bottlenecked by the CPU.

That site is complete garbage.

The least I'd consider a noteworthy upgrade over a GTX 1080 would be a 2070 Super.

I'd suggest waiting a couple of months though for the next-gen GPUs to launch, so you get a more substantial uplift in performance for your money, if you're set on upgrading.

does that mean in the event where cpu is 30% and gpu is 100% for example, does that mean the cpu is bottlenecked? and vice versa?

Not necessarily. It can depend on the task/game.
