There's a good chance it will. What MHz is your CPU hitting while in game?

idk i think ima just go and get a 5600x

Alright then...CPU/motherboard/RAM upgrade will be in order.

would the 5600x be good with my 3060ti? no bottle neck

It's a balanced build imo.

or should i spend the extra 20$ and get the Ryzen 7 5700x

They'll perform similarly and the extra cores will matter more for productivity tasks.

So rightnow i have a i7 9700k rtx 3060ti and game at 1080p and everygame i play my gpu usage is always like 1-30% or sometimes 40 if lucky but my cpu is 75-100% but i dont know if i should get better ram since i have 16gb single channel at 3000mhz can single channel lower my fps? and not let my gpu actually preform? or do i need to get a better cpu cause of bottleneck at 1080p gaming I look at benchmarks and they run just fine

[BluuFr]

So rightnow i have a 3060ti with a i7 9700k with single channel ram  but i get very bad bottle neck with 30% gpu and 70-100% cpu do i get the 5600x or stay with the i7 9700k and get better ram?

First get a better ram you need it even with new cpu. check what is using that much cpu. What games you are playing

[Mark Kaine]

cpu will give you much higher gains than just ram.

its every game using that much pc cpu

so what do i do

9700K shouldn't bottleneck a 3060Ti tho, so I'd guess the single channel RAM is the issue.

I'd say get another stick of RAM, or just get 2x8GB 3200MHZ, if the CPU bottleneck is still there, OC your CPU. If it still there, then get a 12100F at the very least, or R5 5600, at least the new RAM could be reused.

yea im do that is the 5600x really good for the 3060ti? and is it future proof

I would hesitate changing to a whole new platform (getting new stick of ram, mobo and cpu)
When getting a new stick of ram and going duel channel would be far better of a value in terms of performance improvement. Your 9700k should not be significantly bottlenecking a 3060ti at all and should be just fine for the next 4-5 years.

im on a budget so im going to get the ram or cpu first some people saying the bottleneck shouldnt be that bad so they are saying getting ram and that dont work get cpu

Ram can carry forward is why they are saying that, both platforms use ddr4.
Because regardless of going to a new platform (if you buy a 5600x, you have to buy a new mobo), or staying on the 9700k you should be running duel channel. 

You cant just buy the cpu first because of platform incompatibility.

i7 9700k 3060ti on rust should the bottle neck be this bad it never uses my gpu 50% barely i get that much used i get like 60 fps in rust at med settings 1080p

ik but they are saying that the 9700k bottleneck should be this bad and they think ram is at fault.

I'm saying you should try a dual channel RAM setup first, high chance that the issue is there. If you overclocked your CPU, and the bottleneck still there, then go get a new CPU+motherboard.

The new RAM you bought could get reused with the new CPU+motherboard because they are both DDR4.

 

5600x would be good, and it will be fine with a 3060 Ti, unless your future GPU is around the performance of a 3090, 5600X should be fine.

Wait, you based your other post about CPU/GPU usage from task manager?

You can't use task manager to check that, please use MSI Afterburner's OSD to check that while in game. Task manager is highly inaccurate.

Also, running the game from a mechanical drive (hard drive) and having the RAM almost completely used...

Put the game on an SSD and add more RAM.
