Would a RX6800XT be bottlenecked by my R5 2600?

[AeroMagnus]

Been out of the loop for a while, but if my memory serves me right as long as i had a midrange good enough CPU i could play without worry about. Problem is my midrange good enough R5 2600 isnt even in comparison charts these days . Long story short I've been oogling an RX 6800XT that would come up to around 500 after tax and shipping (lets pretend thats a good deal bc of my country), would i see bottlenecking as in i would see similar performance as i do now?

I could in theory upgrade to a 5600x with a bios update (scary) but idk i wanna hear yalls opinion

 

Specs are 

R5 2600 OC @ 4GHZ

Rx 580 4gb

16gb 4x4 walking at 2666Mhz

1080p144hz display

B450 mobo

 

Main games are

War Thunder

Valheim 

For honor

 

I dont even play that much these days but i still feel like i could use some extra fps so i have one less excuse when i lose or i want to run high SMAA cause im blind and wanna pump up the graphics too

 

Thank you in advance

Yes, even a 3600 would bottleneck a 6800 XT, in 4K maybe not.

5600X only on very CPU intensive games such as CP2077, Spider-man Remastered/MM.

For the price of 6800 XT, you'd be better off with a 5600 and 6700 XT.

No, not really, not in any ammount significant enough to be worried about it. 

an r5 5600 + 6700XT will NOT be better then an r5 2600 + 6800XT in games. 
Just because 2% off the time the 2600 will "bottleneck" a 6800xt, does not mean you dont get the full performance of the 6800xt 98% of the time.

Sadly 6700xt is same price as 6800xt, also offer dissapeared oof

thanks, I’ll probably update the gpu first since I think it’s the weakest link either way then we’ll see

Please do some research, in 1080p, CPU is very important.

FYR 2080 Ti is a bit slower than 6700 XT, imagine the performance bottleneck with a 6800 XT, which is miles faster than both. We're looking at at least 20% bottleneck on average.

Zen+ IPC is similar to Haswell iirc.

 

Yes it will bottleneck, depend on your resolution, in-game settings and type of games. 

Your 2666mhz is kinda slow as well.

 

 

use 3070 result as point of reference and expect wider gap because 6800XT is the better card.

Max out 1080p.

1080p Medium

Though it should not perform worse than your current Rx 580 for sure.

pretty hefty bottleneck yeah. unfortunately those 2000 series ryzen didn't age well.

 

i mean you can still play games, you'll just have to work around the bottleneck ie adjust  settings accordingly (which admittedly seems hard for many people)
