My daughter has bought a new RTX 2070 and a dell 27 inch Ultrasharp 4k monitor. I want to benchmark her system to see if the i3-6100 in her system is powerful enough to support the graphics card but don't know what benchmarking software to use - does anyone have any suggestions?

Best bench-marking software to see if new RTX 2070 is being bottlenecked
- Thread starter cimurray
- Start date
The best 'benchmark' for showing a CPU bottleneck for me was Shadow Of The Tomb Raider with DX12 enabled - and not the in game benchmark, which like most always claims to be 99-100% GPU bound no matter what - but the first hub area (Kuwaq Yaku).
As afterburner clearly indicates here, my old FX-8350 was a big bottleneck even at 3440x1440 with all CPU cores/threads being utilised.
Personally I'm not aware of any synthetic or in-game benchmark that can so clearly show a CPU bottleneck like this.

As with most things in life an answer is only a simple google away

The cpu will be the weakest part of the system no doubt about that and whilst overwatch will be fine other games it clearly struggles on.

i3-6100 CPU with RTX 2070 will handle new games very well, it can easy matched Ryzen 7 2700X in many new games like Resident Evil 2, DIRT Rally 2.0 etc.

Just use the system and see how it runs things. CPU bottlenecks in games usually present themselves as the game will stutter badly in places.
MSI afterburner can also be used to monitor CPU and GPU usage amongst other things. Ideally a game will push GPU to 99% and CPU will remain under that.

Also if you run the Shadow of the Tomb raider benchmark it shows you at the end what the fps of the CPU was and the GPU. You want the CPU fps to be faster than the GPU that way no bottleneck.
I think also AC Origins does the same (I assume Odyssey does this too)
