I am planning to buy a GTX 1660 but my CPU is a ryzen 3 2200G. Will it survive the bottleneck untill I upgrade to a better cpu ?

It should! You'd likely only squeeze a bit more GPU performance out of it though depending on what you use it for if you upgrade to a Ryzen 3000 or 5000 chip.

what do you mean by survive?? lol. it's not going to harm the pc in any way, even if it has a severe bottleneck.

Buy the best GPU you can afford. It would be ridiculous to hold back for the sake of a CPU you're going to replace soon anyway. As another poster already said, a "bottleneck" (and I hate this term because there is always a "bottleneck" in any system) does not damage the PC or any component in it, it's just a limiting factor on performance.

yep… but the bottlneck will be quite severe…  i mean it did throttle my old 1060 a lot, even a 1050ti was a "bit much" but its fine for a lot of games (and not fine for even more games, if you care about 60fps at all)

 

 

overall  it will still be an improvement over igpu.

keep in mind despite being heavily hyped at the time this cpu is really weak, 4c no mt, its ok, but a lot of games will have issues.

I want to dissable the integrated gpu from my ryzen 3 2200G so I can put an gtx1660. How can I dissable the igpu pls.

[IkeaGnome]

You can't. It's part of the CPU. 

You can run the 1660 with the 2200g no problem though.

You don't need to, it's automatic.

You don't need to disable the integrated graphics to be able to use a dedicated GPU. If you still want to for some reason, you do so in the BIOS. 

[Bad5ector]

@Mark SiderisShouldn't need to do anything. But if you want to be extra for sure, just go into BIOS and make sure that you have iGPU set to disabled.

[Mark Sideris]

The case is. I have a ryzen 32200G. My graphics card will arrive on monday. What will be the order of things. Will I have to dissable the igpu first and then install nvidia drivers for the gpu or the card must be already in so the system can have a display input.

[Kilrah]

Merged into existing thread.

 

Put card in, install drivers. That's it.

Why do you want to disable the iGPU? If you're using the GPU instead you aren't going to get more performance by disabling it. Not enough to be notable at least. Leaving the iGPU enabled will help with troubleshooting later on if the graphics card starts to have issues as well.
