Process too slow?
Hi, I’m thinking about upgrading my PC soon. I currently have a GTX 1660 Super and a Ryzen 5 3600. I’m planning to replace the GPU first, then the CPU later. I’m concerned about potential bottlenecks and want to know if pairing an RX 7700 XT with the Ryzen 5 3600 will cause too much of a performance gap. Will I still get a noticeable improvement, or could it become a bottleneck?
You'll probably notice improved performance, and after boosting the CPU, even better.
Don't stress about it. The current bottleneck isn't a big deal since you're planning to upgrade your CPU soon. Consider purchasing now for your upcoming platform upgrade. Although you'll face CPU limitations in the short term, a lower GPU that fits your 3600 will eventually become the limiting factor once you upgrade your CPU.
