Bottleneck detected

[DaRealGamerFox]

Budget (including currency): $2000

Country: United States of America

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Dual Booting with Windows and Linux, Indie Game Development (The engine am using is GameMaker Studio 2), Video Editing, Gaming (I usually play games like Minecraft and Roblox but I do occasionally play some other games both singleplayer and multiplayer.)

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Am upgrading from an Alienware with 32 GB of ram, RTX 3070, Intel Core i7. I will build the computer sometime after Christmas. I play at 1080p and I have dual monitors.

So this is kind of a continuation of this:

BUT. I recently put the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER and the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D through a few bottleneck calcuator and it detected a 23.7% bottleneck. I hear anything above a 5% for a bottleneck is bad. Do you guys have any good suggestions on what I should replace that will be able to do the tasks I want?

Bottlenecks are highly situational, the severity depends on game, resolution, settings, graphics API, CPU instructions and whatever. These "bottleneck calculators" are very inaccurate, avoid them. (A 7900X3D usually shouldn't even bottleneck a 4070 Super at 1080p) Watch comparison videos on Youtube instead.

Bottleneck calcs are trash. Do not use them ever.

 

Id honestly suggest not using a 7900x3D unless you know exactly what you are getting into with getting it to function properly as its not a simple turn on and just works perfectly.

 

Id suggest either 7950x or 7800x3D. Both are absolutely fine even with a 4090, since you are doing a mixed workload you may lean towards the 7950x, since a 4070ti isnt the top end spec it will be fine even with a 7600x.

Your build is fine for your usage, there's nothing wrong with it.

 

To be more specific:

- A gaming CPU faster than a 7900X3D? Good luck with that. There is none (the 7800X3D/7950X3D are marginally faster).

 The point I'm making to the OP is that the X3D CPUs are the very best gaming CPUs you can buy, if a 4070 Ti Super has a 23.7% bottleneck with a 7900X3D (not saying I agree with the calculator, but anyhow) then switching the CPU will change next to nothing.

 

The 7900X3D is a great CPU for a mixed usage (gaming/productivity) build.

Oh, I agree, was just poking fun at you 

 

If the 7900X3D doesn't cut it, then a few percent more CPU performance aren't going to make much of a difference. But as others have said, those calculators are garbage anyway. You can't compress something that depends on a lot of factors into a single number and have that number mean anything.

Alright then. Thank you yall for letting me know that bottleneck calcs are inaccurate. For right now I will not make any changes to the cpu or gpu (unless if I find an option that I believe is better for me)
