[Loenneborg]

So i have a ryzen 5 3600, and I am planning on buying rx 6800, will it bottleneck in Any way?

at 1080p 240Hz in competitive gaming titles, sure. 4k at 60FPS in AAA titles? seems fine, the 3600 can handle 60FPS just fine.

How do you define bottlenecking? If the new Intel Rocket lake or Zen 3 makes more fps than 10900K with 3080. Will you say 10900K is bottlenecking the GPU?

in the most simple of terms it's "less performance than you could otherwise be getting" and I think this thread is too basic to argue the nuance of bottlenecking vs performance scaling

 

OP didn't even care enough to list games or resolution.

1080p warzone, fps.

super high refresh rate, you'll want to go with a 5000 series Ryzen CPU.

 

unless you mean 1080p 144Hz or something lower, in which case the 6800 is pretty overkill.

In ANY way? Yes. Realistically? not really. The 3600 is more than enough for up to 144Hz in most games. Beyond that and you'll probably want something better. The 5900X would be what to look at, at a premium of course. Outside of that any 5000 series would be what to go for, or maybe Rocket Lake. Intel seems to think they can still keep the gaming crown, but I am kind of doubting it after seeing 5000 numbers.

So whatever i do, ill have to Also upgrade My CPU if om playing 1080. Either CPU or screen? Will the 5000 series be able to run on a b350?

Well it really depends on what you're looking for. If you want just the highest possible FPS, period, out of the 6800, then yes you'll "need" an upgrade on the CPU. If you want 90-95% of the performance the 6800 has to offer, then no you really don't need to upgrade. As for if the 5000 series will run on B350, it's kind of doubtful. Already support on 400 series boards is delayed until 2021, supposedly. I'd check with your board's manufacturer, though. It could be possible for some of them to provide support for 5000 series, although I'd think unlikely.

Thanks a lot for the help

What logic is that? Even if your 3600 can only utilize 95% of the 6800 in the worst case scenario. So officially it's "bottlenecking" the GPU. So you get only 240fps instead of 260fps. So? The game will stutter? Or the game becomes so shit it's unplayable? So you're going to upgrade the CPU to get that extra 20fps?

 

People get so brainwashed about minor bottlenecking. They think the end of the world is coming.

According to AMD, No it will not run on a 300-series motherboard
