Will My CPU Bottleneck my RTX3080ti?

[Alex Jones]

Hello everyone I'm building a new PC Asus Tuf A520M II paired with Ryzen 5600 and want to overclock at least at 4.8 GHz and I only play at 1080p will bottleneck my GPU thanks for the help.

Yes, there will be a bottleneck. I am not sure how you will overclock the CPU with locked motherboard, but if you can overclock the RAM, you can get 5-10% performance out of it.

Is this motherboard locked for overclock can I mess with the bclk? Thanks for the answer.

A520 motherboards can't change the CPU multiplier but some have BCLK (Bus Clock) which technically allows you to overclock it but everything else in the system will also be overclocked and this can cause stability issues so you can't go too far.

There are also unofficial ways to increase the power limit of the CPU, which will make the precision boost override to draw more voltage and a higher boost clock to the CPU.

The only problem you have are the VRMs which are usually terrible on A520s

There shouldn’t be much of the bottleneck.

Thanks for the all advice guys see you soon in the games!

That motherboard is awful. No pcie 4.0 support. I think your motherboard might bottleneck.

What that means 4.0 pcie support, will give me more fps or it's just for SSD?

depends on game, res and settings

with demanding games
at low res and settings with high refresh rate display, yes cpu will bottleneck
at high res and max settings on demanding game, the gpu will bottleneck

pci-e 4.0 is only really needed when fewer lanes can be dedicated to the gpu slot or other devices
with only a single gpu and few lanes needed for sb, it will be fine with 3.0 or even 2.0

I expect bottleneck up to 10ish %

Ryzen 5600 =Ryzen 5600X

some say up to 19%

I doubt it.

For SSD and GPU. SSD I doubt anyone can notice. When it comes to bus lanes though, the effect can be more the bigger your GPU.

The 3080ti is very powerful and will definitely benefit from pcie 4.0 support. Maybe with like a 3060 it wouldn't matter too much, since I'm actually using one on a 2.0 bus but it seems fine with 16 lanes.

The 3080ti being so much stronger just had me doubting. It will definitely work and if there is a bottleneck maybe you wouldn't notice unless you had a metric display running during the process to see what your fps is or other things.

It's really best not to worry too much about these things because it can get rather obsessive if you let it. Sometimes it's best just to get want you want and just use it the way you want to.

Honestly if I had your setup I would get something like the Rx 6700 or XT or maybe even 6800. These will offer better value. If you go Nvidia you get ripped off. I got in the queue at EVGAs webpage during lockdown and got mine at MSRP. Still a rip off though and this is my last Nvidia card.

no bottleneck. why? you can enjoy ultra-settings with this fast gfx-board. if you have the money one day, buy 5800x3d AMD cpu. then you may see a difference.

Ok guys, thanks so you all think my setup is ok for a while like my CPU and motherboard can delivery the the power to the GPU? I never bought AMD CPU before.

[humboldt]

it runs...dont worry!

The board is meh, everything else is fine. The board could be worse though.

tell me why?? please?
