Build Question Build suggestion

I have 3060 ti paired with 14600kf mainly play cs2 1080p 4:3, i manage to get around 310-440 fps, thinking about upgrading to 9070 xt but on one bottleneck calculator i get around 1.6% cpu bottleneck and on the other calculator i get around 46% cpu bottleneck, dont know which one to trust, any suggestions(upgrading so I can play other games too).

440fps

I can feel my eyeballs melting from the sensory overload

the upgrade even makes sense for your use case. You're already pushing 300+ fps in CS2, and that game cares way more about cpu than gpu anyway. For other games though, the jump from a 3060 ti to a 9070 xt would be massive, especially if you ever move to 1440p.

I'd say go for it if you're branching out into more demanding titles. Just make sure your power supply can handle the upgrade and that the card physically fits in your case.

Sir,forget about bottlenecks. That word is thrown around way too often. Focus on what feels good for you gameplay wise. There is always gonna be a bottleneck isln any pc build. Sometimes more, sometimes less. My advice? Completely forget about that and don't believe all that fear mongering around pc building made by tiktokers or YouTubers or even AI. Focus on what feels good for you about your pc.that cpu is awesome,and if you buy that graphics card, you'll notice a huge difference in performance,your pc will feel like a bullet!!!! Keep me posted 🙂

I have a 14600k and rx9070 and I dont get any bottleneck in AAA games. 14600k can even pair witha. 5080 I believe. But for cs2 cpu is 80% of the time the bottleneck because its cpu intensive. your fps might not get higher on 1080p but you most likely will get the same fps on 1440p too.
