Bottlenecking

[sammyshaffer]

Would a Ryzen 5 1500x and a 1060 bottleneck if so which part would be holding which back?

Although Ryzen won't bring the most out of your graphics card like an Intel CPU would, I believe the GTX 1060 would be holding the R5 1500X back anyways. In my personal experience, ideally, you'd want the graphics card to be maxing out in games before the CPU does.

Totally depends on what games your running, some are almost all GPU and others are almost half and half.  Give us a list and we can give you a better idea.  

 

I agree with @nelsonpong

Any CPU can bottleneck any GPU. Just depends on your performance versus visual quality expectations and the types of applications or games being run and the conditions they are being run in.

 

It's not a yes or no question.

Most recently I have been playing Destiny 2

Technically it could be a yes or no question what if I asked if a i3 was bottlenecking a 1080 ti then that would be a solid yes

No, because it's situational. There is no yes and no to describe every possible situation.

If you want to know if it [the 1500X and 1060] is a balanced system, then I'd say yes.

Though few, an example of an i3 not bottlenecking a 1080Ti might be cyrptomining.

 

Don't have any experience with Destiny 2.  Only remarks that I have heard have been from JayzTwoCents and someone else commenting that it is somewhat well optimized.  Jay did a video the other day looking at Min specs for Destiny 2, can go there and see how close your specs line up with the minimum settings and how that performs.

Not all games have the same CPU requirements. Yes, you could bottleneck your GPU in game X, but that doesn't mean it'll bottleneck in game Y. It just depends on your settings and how the game engine is built.

Thread closed I guess.
