7900xtx

Is there any way that a 7900xtx can get bottlenecked in this system.

Yes, there most certainly is. In a meaningful way? Possibly, depending on your use case.

What are you going to use the system for?

under general home use and gaming good to go for a few years but as asked in the post above it really depends what you want to do.

any CPU GPU combo can be brought to its knees if you really want to go crazy.

1440 - 4k gaming, renders and environmental design and creation in unreal engine 5.

 

Essentially everything at 2k to 4k quality.

Does UE5 use the GPU efficiently? It should be good if it does.

Also, have you considered one of the new Ryzen X3D-chips? Those have significantly benifited performance in production and gaming alike in the past, so it might be worth it to hold off on buying the system for a bit if you can.

Are you planning on overclocking the CPU? You can save quite some money if you don't with Intel.

I've already brought everything other then the graphics card. But thanks anyways. My old system died so I couldn't really wait.

 

So the GPU shouldn't get bottlenecked with the hardware but possibly with software?

Bottlenecking (AFAIK) = Not utilizing everything 100%. Very much impossible to achieve, unless you write custom software that's specific for your use case. You can limit it by reseearching how components perform in certain games and trying to optimize everything that way, but it's unlikely to ever be perfect, especially with a general use machine. Minecraft will be perfectly happy on an APU, some AAA games just need a 4090 and will use it well alongside a Ryzen 3.

But I wouldn't worry about it in your use case, it seems well matched. Return the GPU if it is underutilized (<80% at all times, with the CPU pinned at 100%) I guess, but I doubt that it'll be a real issue.

Thanks for the information. I'll keep it in mind.

The CPU would bottleneck the GPU on 1080p. A tiny bit even on 1440p.
