will a rtx 3070 be able bottleneck a r5 3600?

will a rtx 3070 be able bottleneck a r5 3600? will a r5 3600 be able to handle a rtx 3070 without any problems???

The answer to both is

Spoiler

It depends on your game, resolution and settings, but it'll be just fine for most cases

 

Bottleneck will occur regardless, but doesn't mean it's a bad thing, it just means it's running as fast as it can

Even if it does, you should be thinking about pairing a zen 3 processor with a 3070, as both aren't available yet (and should hopefully be available at the same time).

On 1080p there is a slight disadvantage compared to the highest-end CPUs. We're talking 5% to maybe 10% less fps at most compared to a 10900K. As soon as we're talking about 1440p or higher, there should not be any noticeable difference between a 3600 and even a 10900K in most games and the 3070 will work at it's full potential. Of course there can be some exceptions in a few games, but nothing groundbreaking.

 

There will be a bottleneck in ANY system. The important thing is, that there are no severe bottlenecks, like for example pairing a 3090 with a Core i5-2600K.

 

TLDR: 3070 will run just fine with a 3600.
