Hello,

 

I want to game at 1440p resoliution. Im planing on buying the 12400f cpu and 6900xt will it bottleneck?? I mostly will use the pc for gaming and some office work. Maybe in the future i will upgrade to 13600kf or k versions.

It should not bottleneck the 6900XT on 1440p. But also, upgrading from a 12400f to a 13600kf is not recommended; it's a small generational upgrade that has additional E-cores.

E-cores help in productivity tasks, but for gaming they are not.

Too bad, you have a very best GPU there, maybe save money and buy a bundle CPU/MB ?

it should be ok at 1440p,  but why not go for the next stronger one, 12600k/f or whatever... I'd always be scared to run in a cpu bottleneck with the 12400f... even if its probably ok for *most* games.

The direction tells you... the direction.

So it's a case of bad planning, don't worry about 3nm die difference. Not like they were before and will not make you crash.

See the Linus test videos on die differences in setups.
