IS Pairing 5600x with 3080TI a bad idea for pc which will be used for Gaming?

Wanted to know if I'll face any issues also if i should wait for Ryzen refresh which is around jan

It's not a bad idea. The 5600x is a good cpu and will certainly work well with 1440p and higher resolutions. You might get more performance out of a better cpu at 1080p and very high refresh rates. But for example 1440p 144Hz gaming, it will do just fine and not be a bottleneck.

That combination is fine... what MONITOR you add to it could be more of an issue.

1440p/144 isn't the end of the world as an output - I'd say it's more "ideal high end" than many realise - so I echo what @Naijinsays... realistic expectation for your display.

Thanks for replay. Initially it will be used on 1080p system but I've planned to upgrade to 1440p 144hz monitor in 2 months.

why not 1440p 240hz?

More expensive...?  240MHz is more entry level competitive eSports.

Same combo here on 3440x1440 120 Hz. Zero issues.

How many months have you been using this combination?

Monitors tend to last 5years+ 144hz is a waste.

Personally; 144Hz is more than enough for WoW - the only game I play... add to that that I can't justify £500+ (or the $/€ equivalent) on a monitor.

Thanks, what do you use for pc for and if games which type of games do you play?

ideally you never want to let your FPS exceed your Monitors Refreshrate, With a product that has a very high chance to see atleast one GPU upgrade in the future and is already kinda maxed out on a 3080ti, its doing nothing else then bottlenecking your gaming PC making other upgrades irrelevant in the future.

 

This is not a matter of justification, this is a matter of future proofing and being smart.
having 240fps on 60hz f.e. has significant more input lag than having 60FPS on a 240hz Monitor as you can see here:

This kinda info asks more questions than it answers... and I'm not here to hijack this thread (done that enough, already).

 High refreshrate Monitors are awesome. Motionclarity is another big factor, im personally just waiting for extremely more powerful GPUs and 4k 240Hz displays.
Will be fun.

I’m running a 12600K with a 3080. Personally I wouldn’t go any lower than a 12600K with a 3080 so for a 3080 Ti I’d go with a 5800x or 5900x or a 12700K.

Gaming primarily.

 

I cap everything at 117 FPS (on a 120 Hz monitor), so in many games I'm not fully utilizing the GPU, but I'm okay with that. I play games like Wreckfest, Teardown, GTAV, Doom Eternal, Control, Astroneer, Metro Exodus, and a number of different VR titles using a Valve Index (main GPU driver).

 

I wanted to be able to hit 100+ FPS in titles with all the visual goodies like RTX turned on and the 5600x has zero issues enabling that when paired with the 3080 Ti.

 

I also do some casual Blender stuff on the side and the 5600x is certainly a limiting factor for that with physics simulations. GPU works wonderfully for rendering, but if I get more into complex physics stuff I'd probably move up to a 5800x or 5900x, but for my 90 percent gaming usage the 5600x is awesome. And easy to cool.

I play ff14 mainly capped at 85hz because I leave it on all day long and there's no reason for this type of game to be sucking down 340w of power constantly

 

But, the 3080 and 165hz is there if I need it, I just don't often. And eSports.....I'm too old to play them well anyway.

Thanks that really does help make decision .cheers man
