I feel like im being bottlenecked by my CPU what do you recommend?

[fading urchin]

yeah that would be a bottleneck

https://pc-builds.com/bottleneck-calculator/

you can use this

select cpu and gpu then click grapics card intense tasks

aka gaming

it isnt perfect but gives the general bottleneck

also a 20 percent bottleneck is only noticeable on gpu heavy games

[tulip yew]

hm ok thanks

[slim fractal]

Please don't use tools like this, they are useless. You can't state that something is a bottleneck unless you have the exact program and settings.

[fading urchin]

they still give a good indication

[slim fractal]

@tulip yew Open GeForce Experience overlay, click on the Settings cogwheel, go to HUD layout, select Performance. Choose a region of the screen and set it to Advanced.

[fading urchin]

because there are literally billions of component combination

and thousands of cpu gpu combos

[slim fractal]

@fading urchin The combinations don't matter, it depends in the program and settings. You just check the GPU and CPU load.

@tulip yew Go ingame and press Alt + R to open the overlay. Screenshot and post it here

You are very much in fact being bottlenecked by that cpu pcie 3.0 as well as basically a 5500 with igpu id go with 5700x or above

[zenith karma]

If he plays games like Fortnite or any recent games it will be very noticeable that's coming from someone who has 3070 with a 5600g

[fading urchin]

And Fortnite is a CPU heavy game so my point still stands

[blazing gorge]

the 5800x3d/5700x3d is the best cpu to get for that platform

[zenith karma]

You don't need the best one on the platform for that GPU

[blazing gorge]

depends on the res

[zenith karma]

You didn't say CPU you said GPU but either way your not going to be using full GPU

[zenith karma]

1080p 1440p either will be fine that's from experience myself

5700x

Or higher

[fading urchin]

Yep that’s my fault

[zenith karma]

You can pretty much saturate 3070 with 5600x

[blazing gorge]

i would go straight to the 5800x3d

[fading urchin]

Wait no I didn’t

Wait i am dumb

Yep

My bad

[zenith karma]

This also greatly depends on how much you want to pay and if they are willing to slap some higher clocked ram to make use

[blazing gorge]

either way, bottleneck calculators are a scam

[zenith karma]

Agree same with user bench

[blazing gorge]

3200 is perfectly fine ram speed. you wont really get much from higher

[zenith karma]

On them chips you will

Slightly but worth the extra if you got 3000 or below

[blazing gorge]

they have 3200

[zenith karma]

Oh yes I didn't see picture

[blazing gorge]

anyway, the only meaningful upgrade from the 5600g (other than ryzen 7000) would be the 57/5800x3d

[zenith karma]

Not really as I said 5600g is basically 5500 with igpu 5600x leaves the 5600g in the dust in so many levels

20-60 FPS boost in a lot of games

[blazing gorge]

And if I’m buying a new cpu for a dead platform, I’m getting the best one so I can use it for as long as possible

[quasi ruin]

I have a question related to this,
I have a 13500h and intel integrated graphics the calculator says i have a 60% bottleneck but i usually do productivity focused work how will that bottleneck affect my work

[blazing gorge]

The calculator is wrong. All bottleneck calculators are a scam
