Will it bottleneck?
Posted by ScreenPlus@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 19 comments
So recently i bought parts to build a new po and i was wondering if my gpu and cpu will bottleneck. I went with the rtx 4080 super and for cpu with ryzen 7 9700x. Should i have gone with i7 14700k? Please help

It won't bottleneck but you did over pay for the CPU cuz it performs like it's 7000 series counterpart

I know but in my country is like a 25 usd difference between 7000 series and 9000 series, the big difference is between 9700x and 7800x3d and the 7800x3d is like 150-160 usd more, so i went with the 9700x, Thanks anyways

Should have got a 7600X3D. :)

Yeah, i know but i think the difference isn't that big i mean like 1 or 2% from what i saw and in my country the price difference is like very big between them like the 9700x is 370 and the 7800x3d is 530 usd

Oh you said 7600x3d, sorry. I can't find 7600x3d in my country

Forget about ‘bottlenecks’, even the best gaming systems will bottling certain circumstances.
What resolution and Hz will you be using?
ScreenPlus@reddit (OP)
1440p and 180 hz but i dont really play that much of competitive games

The 9700X is plenty good enough for 180Hz/fps, it’s not like you are pushing 240 or above would require at least 33% more fps. The important thing with cpu choice is the target fps, while yours is above average it’s not in the really high area. As for the gpu it’s the 2nd best on the market at the moment.

Yeah like i said i dont really play competitive games, so i dont think it will be a problem, i also did a pcpartpicker list https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7G3BPJ so you can see all the specs. Thanks for help

It won’t be a problem. If this is only for gaming then you didn’t need 64gb RAM and unless there was a specific feature you needed the motherboard looks overkill. No harm but could have got the same performance and saved a little.

I got it as a present so i wanted to do it very good and also to have good aesthetics so..... yeah, thanks so much for help.
Anyway it will be at least 3 or 4 times better than my actual pc ( i have ryzen 5 3600x and rx 5600 xt)

You could’ve went with a worse CPU and you still wouldn’t have had a bottleneck. You’re fine

You usually check for these things before you buy components.
You'll always have a CPU bottleneck in your system, unless you get the fastest gaming CPU 9800x3d.
So forget about having a "bottleneck" being bad, it's whether or not that bottleneck will really hold back your other components or not. To a point where it's like you almost wasted money on the GPU.
The answer to your question, no. 9700x is AMD's newly released Ryzen 7, it's not severely bottlenecking anything today.
https://www.techpowerup.com/review/amd-ryzen-7-9800x3d/18.html 14700k is 2.2% faster than a 9700x at 1080p with a 4090. 13th/14th gen have lots of issues and a 14700k is much harder to cool than a 9700x. Not sure if want to deal with that in exchange for that tiny performance bump.

There are a lot more things to consider than just gpu/cpu. For example:
What are you using your PC for? What resolution do you use? What types of games are you playing? Are you after high graphic settings or high refresh rate?
You’re fine.

I will use it mainly for gaming, 1440p, high graphic settings, i also went from an ryzen 5 3600x and rx 5600 xt (my old build) and i mainly play ark survival evolved and ascended.
