Recommended GPU out of the RTX 3000 series for a Ryzen 5 3700x

Hi All,
What would be the best GPU out of the new nVidia graphics cards series for a ryzen 5 3700x?

The 3800

Is a 3700x enough to cope with a 3080?

Switch power off, unplug and walk away from the computer!

3700x is a ryzen 7 and should be more than enough for a 3080

Sorry yes it's Ryzen 7. Thanks

I may be appologizing as well, after posting I did a bit of research and I found some people saying the 3700x does bottleneck a 3080 a bit so maybe better to google it and see what you can find

My 3600 here bottlenecks 3080 on 2560x1440p on Red Red Redemption 2 for example. So I bet 3700x will do the same.
I think the best deal now if you cant wait for 3080 is an used 2080ti. Get under £600 and it is still a good deal as no one knows when 3080 will available again to buy.

How much is the bottleneck? I have a 3700x

If you GPU bound, getting a 3080 RTX you will more than likely mean your still GPU bound, if your running 1080p? you don't need £700 GFX card save some cash buy a 3070.

Go watch a few Gamers Nexus videos, he actually reviews 3600x with 2080Ti once you're at 1440p there's no noticeable bottlenecking going on, only difference at play are IPC of CPUs on the list.

I have a 3700x and I’m getting a 3080. Of course the 3700x will bottleneck it sometimes. You always have a bottleneck no matter what. A 10900k will even bottleneck it in certain titles.
A 10700k or so will get you a little more FPS, especially at 1080p, but for 1440p it’s less, and 4k won’t make a difference.

If you are CPU bound by the 3700x, the FPS will tend to be so high it won’t make a difference.

I don’t fully understand the term bottleneck tbf

Jeez that’s bad

 

[Griff7520]

I have added a second link where it is said a 3700x is a recomended cpu for 3080

Tbf I’m aiming for 1440P 144hz I think I’ll be fine

1080p. Most benchmarks I’ve seen a 10900k is 7-10 percent faster on 1440p

If you're gaming at 1080p on a 3700x and 3080 you really need to get your priorities straight. Totally useless statistics. For 1080p get a 3060 when they exist don't waste money on a 3080 for 1080p.

im aiming for 1440p 144hz not 1080

Good, that's ideal then but I was talking to OP
