Does a Ryzen 5 3400g bottleneck a 1660 super?

I have a Ryzen 5 3400g for a CPU and I bought a 1660 super but I am not getting the performance I was expecting.  Does anyone know if the problem could be my CPU bottlenecking my GPU?

What performance are you getting and what were you expecting ?

I say this should be alright.

I'm willing to swim against the current.

No, you should have plenty of headroom with that CPU.

They would work well together.

Of course there will be situations where the GPU can do more than the CPU, but that is something you would see with any PC.

Some games like - CS:GO for example - just run more based on the CPU rather than the GPU and there are other games - such as the Witcher 3 - that are the opposite.

 

In what situations are you not getting the performance you expected? How did you measure and compare it?
