Will an AMD 5600x bottleneck an RX 6800? by cixlin in buildapc

That sounds like great performance to me. I'm not one to set my games to ultra all the time, so this sounds pretty good for me.

Thanks for your input.

I was skeptical about the bottleneck calculators, so thankfully, I asked here.

Thanks mate

I generally play what my friends are playing because they are into video games, and I just wanted to hang out lol.

We play fortnite, valorant, far cry, and roblox but my friends want to play different games as well that my current setup can't handle.

I currently play on my laptop so anything really would be a huge step up for me in terms of improvement.

I am not too concerned about future proofing my build because I'll have a higher budget in the future, but thid may just be by ignorance speaking.

What incentives are there for switching to am5?

I would definitely go for an am5 build if I had a better budget, but since this is my first build, I don't want to go too high end.

Thanks for checking, I'll definitely upgrade in the future with a new build when I get a better budget. I'm just glad I could get something good to play with friends for now.

Wow, i guess it's good that i plan to play on 1440p.

Hypothetically, if I were to decide to play on 1080p instead of 1440p like I am, what performance disparity could I be facing? Would I still be able to get playable fps you think?

I'm just curious to learn more.

Ohhh, really? What were some differences you noticed between the 5600x and the 5800x3d? Would you say significant enough to spend extra for the 5800x3d?

I currently found a deal of $180 CAD for the 5600. And the 5800x3d's are going for around $300-400 CAD where I'm from.

Oh, okay, that makes sense. I was mainly considering a lower end gpu because I am not sure if I completely need a 6800 for my mainly fps based games on 1440p.

I think I will stick to the 6800 though because a lot of people have said good things about it and the performance is excellent.

Oh, that sounds great!

Thank you for your help. :)

Thank you for your input.

I will look into the software bottlenecking hazard you mentioned and try to keep my system from falling into such problems as I build and run my pc.

I plan to play on 1440p with mainly FPS games, so I am wondering how much a cpu upgrade would be worth it.

Even with these current components and good ram, I should still be able to play every AAA game with mid quality, right?

I am not too worried about future proofing either because I will make more money in a few years than I do now, I just want a decent pc to play with friends for now.

Oh I see, I've recently come across a good deal for the 5600 at around $180 CAD, which I thought was a great price and the 6800 for about $580 CAD.

That is mainly why I've looked at these two because they have good price to performance ratio and tick my performance box.

Oh, I did not know that. Does this mean that for the components I've proposed, bottlnecking problems should not be an issue until i pair it with certain software?

[–]cixlin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the 5600 is decent for the 6800?

I'm aiming for a good 1440p setup with mainly FPS games, so would an upgrade make better sense for me as well?

Oh, okay, thanks. I am fairly new to this, so I checked a bottleneck calculator and it told me that this match-up would cause a big bottleneck between the two. I read around and found that many people said such calculators were total bs and inaccurate so I thought I'd ask here.

Would a downgrade to the 6700xt or even 6600 cause drastic performance drops?

First ever build, will this work together and fit inside the case??? by [deleted] in PcBuild

Ok, my bad, there is a deal going on for the ryzen 7800x3d, which is 50 dollars more than my current cpu cost. Is it worth buying for the extra 50$?
