What about an Nvidia Card how high can I upgrade to before my CPU starts bottlenecking the Gpu

depends on res and visual settings
for 16k+ maxed visuals, 5090 is not enough

4060 is close to a 9060xt
could be a little weak for 1440p60 gaming

4070/ti or 5070 would be a better target for higher fps at 1440p 100+hz gaming

nvidia rtx 5060 TI 16 gb vram is a good card and i would go for it. you need the power, because you want 1440p/170hz. i think this card can handle it.
my opinion.

16k? who has this? or didnt i understand...?

higher res, multiple 4ks spanned or surround, only takes more gpu

ok. but dont we seek a single gpu for a ryzen 3600x? that cpu is a little weak, so why do you talk about 5090 and multimonitor setup. the threadstarter wants a 170hz/1440p setup. and i think it is better to buy a 5000 series than a 4000 series nvidia gpu. is this wrong?

5060-5060ti. Ryzen CPUs are not great value to put it mildly. IMO consider buying a cheap 12700k and oc it. You'll get far better performance and more options regarding GPUs without having to fork over a premium for x3d CPUs.

People here really don't like to read and comprehend what the topic creator wants. So they continue with their hip-fire in hopes that something lands on the target.

maxed out visuals or using vsr/dsr downscaling to the displays res takes more gpu, not cpu

gpu drawing at 4k+ then scaling down is more work than using native 1440p or 1080p res

a 5090 could be pegged at 100% usage doing that even with a single 1080p display and not be cpu bound

With how unoptimized unreal engine games have become, you need a well tuned CPU just to offset that. 3600x is just not enough to do so. If he had an oc 12600k then a 5070ti-5080 would be viable but 5090 would be overkill in that scenario too.

4070 but futureproofing, (if that's even possible in pc gaming), anything higher will enable a move to more powerful cpu at later date.

With that CPU , you ve got what you need

Guys I got a Ryzen 3600x cpu what's the highest graphics card I can get before the CPU starts bottlenecking the graphics card

980 Ti.

Joking, but really any new 50 series will push that CPU, some new games will just push it regardless of GPU, 5060 Ti would be fine but you could go higher and drop a 5800X in if your motherboard allows it, you can find them dirty cheap now.

i have a 3600 with a 5070, any 50 series is good since you'll actually get a performance upgrade with dlss and framegen (although PLEASE upgrade your CPU, thats what i'm going to be doing)

my zotac 5070 is about 600 USD and was worth every cent even with the bottleneck, running games like arc raiders (yet again, even with the 3600) at 300 fps with framegen all ultra

gddr7 is also extremely worth it
