I have a 2070 Super and a Ryzen 7 2700, and I’m feeling a bit anxious about possible bottlenecks. I’m unsure if the Ryzen 7 2700 works well with the 2070 Super. While I haven’t noticed any performance issues in games, I’m concerned that my limited experience might be hiding a problem. I just want to confirm whether these two components can work together smoothly.

It shouldn't cause concern because even with a slowdown, your components wouldn't be harmed and you'd still get good results from the part struggling. In your situation, while the 2700 lags behind Zen 2 or Intel Coffee Lake in single-core speed, most modern games can still run smoothly using its 16 threads, compensating for the weaker single-thread performance. Keep an eye on CPU and GPU activity with tools like MSI Afterburner during play; if your CPU stays consistently high (90-100%), it's likely the GPU is the bottleneck, which seems unlikely here. Raising graphics settings or increasing resolution to 1440p or higher should fully utilize your GPU's capabilities.

I just received the 2070 Super and haven’t noticed the CPU usage climbing excessively on Division 2 at full settings (it seems under 50%). That sounds promising. Thanks for your input!
