I am currently building a pc and I need to make sure that these components won’t bottleneck each other and waste $2000.

    Not really. It’s literally right under 14/13900K/700K and 7950X3D / 7800X3D. And maybe a 5-10fps difference from the top CPUs.

    If you’re talking about gaming, I can’t imagine a case where one would bottleneck the other. Games known to clobber a GPU don’t even seem to care what CPU you have (Alan Wake 2 eats my 3090 for breakfast and barely even knows I have a 14900k in there).

    Likewise for games that are CPU-intensive. I don’t know which. I’ve heard Baldur’s 3 and several 4x games eat CPUs. But the GPU requirements are generally low on those games.

    tldr: I don’t think bottlenecking is a really big deal anymore in gaming. Games tend to eat one and ignore the other.

    Anecdotally, same for professional data analysis applications (when we’re not using a VM, anyway). Most applications I’m used to just devour my GPU and leave my CPU alone.

    I have an 11900k and with a 4080 and both run great on all games ultra graphics setting.

    Just FYI: 4090 didn’t even exist when 12900k launched. Theoretically if you had 4080 at that time and 4090 didn’t exist it would have been joint fastest in rasterisation with 7900xtx and fastest card in RT titles. So no 4080 won’t be a problem.

    Why so many questions about bottlenecks now. Like what are you expecting a current or past gen CPu to be bottlenecking GPUs?

    Even if it does bottleneck, it’s on titles like CSGO where it’s already up in the 400, 500fps which does absolutely nothing for you.

    Unless you’re on some old CPU like I am a 4670k, you’re fine!
