RTX 4070-Ryzen 5800x

Hi everyone.

Do you think my 5800x is bottlenecking my 4070? most my games only uses around 28-40% GPU, I'm running at 1080p at the moment until I get a 1440p monitor

 

[JediFragger]

Yup, Zen3 wasn't a particularly great gaming cpu just adequate imo (3D excluded ofc).

 

[J.D]

Yes but it's game dependant. Even at 1440p I saw a difference in some games but that was with a 5600x to the 5800X3D.

A 3080 is comparable to a 4070 btw and a 5600x to 5800x are pretty similar too.

Would getting a 5800X3D help or am I better off going for RYZEN 7000/Intel 14000 series which would be a lot more expensive lol

Thanks for your help

5800X3D would be a solid purchase imo.

depends on the games and framerates you are getting. I mean if your CPU "bottleneck" allows you to game at 120+ fps, any additional fps won't be a game changer

if MOST games underutilise GPU by that much, do you perhaps have vsync on? Smells like 60 fps frame cap

I'd be very surprised if the 5800X is bottlenecking your gpu by that much. You don't mention games but when I had by 5600X by most gpu usage if cpu bottlenecked was still around 80%.

Saying that though I was at 1440p but with a 7900xt. Not been on Nvidia for a while but are the CPU overheads that bad? or do you secretly have vsync on

 

[Lee Charles]

Hi guys.

No vsync or any frame limits on any game, games I play the most are Hell let loose/BF5/BF2042/Fortnite. my CPU usage is around the 20/30% mark

This is done with a 3090 Ti. Should give you an idea which games care and which don't.

KEEP the 5800X and buy a better QD-Oled display.

Ignore everyones speculation and check your CPU usage. Add the CPU overlays and look at what each core is doing. Look at what the GPU is doing. Get to know you gaming PC.

You're going to have a CPU bottleneck in many games using a 4070 at 1080p no matter what CPU you buy. I'd strongly suggest investing in a better monitor before you do anything else. I was using a 5800X and a 4070 at 1440p until last week and never did I experience a CPU bottleneck playing any AAA sort of title. I ended up buying a 5800X3D on Black Friday, but that was primarily for World of Warcraft, which is one of those games that just really loves the extra cache. In more general gaming terms there really hasn't been much difference, because I was already easily maxing out the GPU at this resolution in stuff like Cyberpunk 2077, Starfield and Alan Wake 2.
