Does a 6750 xt bottleneck a 7600x

[Jalpaka]

i was wondering if a 6750 xt wil botteneck a 7600x because some videos i saw said that atleast a 6800 xt was needed

Bottlenecking would be relevant if you paired the GPU with some old CPU. It does not matter if the CPU is faster than the GPU. Since games only use part of a multi-core cpu anyways the cpu will never be under full load. Bottlenecking is a term that is being considered way too often nowadays and only comes into play if you are having trouble reaching super high fps in certain games or hitting a benchmark goal. In your case, you have 2 fairly new components that will play nicely together. In general, when building a new system, I recommend option for a more power cpu because it does most of the work anyways. My home computer is a Ryzen 5600 paired with an old GTX 960 GPU and it runs just fine as is. On the other hand, if you were to run something like a 4090 with an older processor you probably would not be getting the full potential out of the graphics card.

 

So in short, everything is fine. You do not need a 6800XT. If you have not bought the graphics card, you may want to wait a bit for the new stuff to come out or prices on the old ones to drop.

only if the task presented to the config uses the gpu to an extent that the cpu is left waiting for the gpu to complete a task.

this would be a problem in not understanding fundamentally what a bottleneck is , which has no bearing at all if zero software is mentioned or used or considered

As matter of fact you want your GPU to bottleneck your CPU, that's the best way to ensure you can utilize the card as close to 100% as possible.

And having the CPU bottleneck your GPU is very bad for frame times and fluidity of gameplay.

The CPU prepares the frames for the GPU. So the GPU waits for the CPU. If the CPU can't prepare as much as the GPu can render, that's a bottleneck.

Tasks in which the CPU would wait for the GPU to finish/prepare something are almost non-existant when talking about games or gaming. So, let's just say that a GPU can't bottleneck a CPU (in gaming).

Well that can happen if the CPU is too weak.

For example my FX 8320E prepares less frames than my HD 6970 can render in Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order and other games.

Those games brings the FX CPU to it's knees and the CPU usage is very close to 100%, the GPU usage is as low as 70% because it waits for the CPU.

 

But that won't happen with the CPU at question - The 7600X, or any other modern quad core or better CPU.
