Windows 10: Is my CPU bottlenecking my GPU?

I feel like it is. MSI X570 Gaming Edge Wifi 32gigs 3600mhz Neo Trident Z DDR4 Ryzen 3900X Radeon RX 6900 XT Nothing is overclocked. I do plan on upgrading to the Ryzen 5900X when the price becomes reasonable.

Hi Jason, thanks for posting your question to the community! My name is David an independent advisor and I am here to help you.

Answering your question, with those components ( CPU, GPU) there is a bottleneck. However, don't worry too much about this.

If your motherboard allows a more powerful CPU like the Intel Core I7 3770, the bottleneck with GPU GTX 1650 would be minimal or null, because this CPU has 4 cores / 8 threads and higher frequencies.

Please see the following link:

Is PCIE 1.1 a bottleneck for 2.0 GPUs?

I've ran a GTX 660 on a Core 2 Quad Q6600 on a ASUS P5K Pro, which had PCIe 1.1, and there was not much of a bottleneck. The CPU will be the biggest bottleneck.

You could install a 750 TI and it would be fine. The 710 to 730 would be a GPU bottleneck, but they should run fine.

The 660 is a 3.0 card though
