4080 cpu bottleneck

[topher]

I was looking to purchase an AM5 build based on a 7600x and RTX 4070ti

However for approx £200 less I can get a 4080 and 5700x

I’ve looked at few bottleneck calculators and got some fairly different results based on gaming at 1440p high/ultra settings.
Some quoting 4.7% and some considerably higher.

There is also the option of replacing the 5700x with a 5800x3d for £150 extra.

Monitor is 1440p 240hz

What CPU do you have now?
In gaming terms there's virtually zero difference between the 5700x and 5600 (non x) so you might want shave a few extra pounds off there as well and I dont see any evidence to suggest it would bottleneck a 4080.

With AM5 board prices and DDR5 prices being so high currently, I think you are looking at the right options in terms of bang for buck. DDR5 also offers little to no benefit for gaming either, actually even worse in some ways with high timing RAM kits.

I recently went from a 5600x to a 5900x just because the used market chips are so cheap and have seen no perceivable difference in terms of gaming with my 3080Ti which just shows me the 5600's have a lot of legs left in them yet.

4770k had it since 2013/14 only upgrade that I have do to my current pc is added a rtx 2060 and nvme.

So it’s a total rebuild for approx £1700 - £2000, which is why I looking at AM5, but the temptation of a 4080 over a 4070ti got to me! Lol

I am going to go for the am5 build, gives me the option of dropping in a new cpu in a few years time, if needed!
