How to pick the best CPU/GPU combo!

Hello! I’m planning on building a PC and I’ve finally found the right components! Maybe you are planning on building one too but there is one problem, the term bottlenecking!

A bottleneck is like a Syrup Bottle! Where you dump it but the hole it comes out of isn’t the same size as the holding so it creates a slower pace, Another example is trying to game with an i3-8100 while using a RTX 2080Ti GPU! The GPU is so fast the CPU has trouble keeping up producing a bottleneck which slows your work / gaming down! That’s no good! So I’m here to give you the perfect GPU / CPU combo! We have Nvidia / AMD and AMD / Intel CPU’s!

NVIDIA GPUS (1000 and 2000 series)

  • GTX 1050 – G4600 Pentium / Althon 200GE
  • GTX 1050Ti – i3-8100 / Ryzen 3 1200
  • GTX 1060 – i5-8500 / Ryzen 5 1600
  • GTX 1070 – i5-8600 / Ryzen 5 2600
  • GTX 1070Ti – i5-8600K / Ryzen 5 2600
  • GTX 1080 – i7-8700 / Ryzen 5 2600X
  • GTX 1080Ti – i7-8700K / Ryzen 7 2700
  • RTX 2070 – i7-8700K / Ryzen 7 2700 (Estimate)
  • RTX 2080 – i7-8700K / Ryzen 7 2700
  • RTX 2080Ti – i7-8700K / i9-9900K / Ryzen 7 2700X

AMD GPUS (RX and RX Vega)

  • RX 550 – G4500 Pentium / Too weak for even okay AMD processor
  • RX 560 – G4600 Pentium / Althon 200GE
  • RX 570 – i5-7400 / Ryzen 3 2200G
  • RX 580 – i5-7600K / Ryzen 5 2400G
  • RX Vega 56 – i5-8600 / Ryzen 5 2600
  • RX Vega 64 – i5-8600K / Ryzen 5 2600X

These are calculated with The Bottlenecker! Try your own calculations and see what you can come up with!
