Do I have a bottleneck for the 3080?

Beilish

Hello,

Before I buy the 3080 I'd like to make sure I'll be able to fully utilize it.

Here's my specs:
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 
Motherboard: ASUS TUF B450M Plus Gaming
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz C16 
Graphics Card: EVGA RTX 2070 Super 
Monitor(s) Displays: 27" Dell S2719DGF 144Hz
Screen Resolution: 2560 x 1440
PSU: Antec EA750G Pro 750W Gold

 

Would love to know if I can feel free to buy it, or will my CPU be a bottleneck? I'm focusing on 1440p triple A titles.

 

Thanks :)

Here's my reply to another post asking the same question:

 

Depends on what games you play and at what resolution. In very CPU-bound games like CS:GO, I'd expect the bottleneck to be 10-15%. In GPU-bound games like The Witcher 3, it's going to be less, maybe 5-10% percent. Resolution is a similar story. The most pronounced bottlenecks will be at 1080p, where your GPU isn't being fully utilized. At 1440p and 4K however, the bottleneck won't be as noticeable.

Main PC:

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X • Noctua NH-D15 • MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk • 2x8GB G.skill Trident Z Neo 3600MHz CL16 • MSI VENTUS 3X GeForce RTX 3070 OC • Samsung 970 Evo 1TB • Samsung 860 Evo 1TB • Cosair iCUE 465X RGB • Corsair RMx 750W (White)

 

Peripherals/Other:

ASUS VG27AQ • G PRO K/DA • G502 Hero K/DA • G733 K/DA • G840 K/DA • Oculus Quest 2 • Nintendo Switch (Rev. 2)

 

Laptop (Dell XPS 13):

Intel Core i7-1195G7 • Intel Iris Xe Graphics • 16GB LPDDR4x 4267MHz • 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD • 13.4" OLED 3.5K InfinityEdge Display (3456x2160, 400nit, touch). 

 

Got any questions about my system or peripherals? Feel free to tag me (@bellabichon) and I'll be happy to give you my two cents.

Thanks. I'll edit and add that my focus is on triple A titles in 1440p.
