Hey everyone! I have an R7 5800X paired with a QICK RX 6750 XT 12GB. I'm curious whether my CPU will bottleneck the ASRock Challenger Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB. I read that the R7 5800 XT doesn't cause bottleneck issues, but I can't find much information about the R7 5800X specifically. Also, I'm considering the upgrade from my current GPU to the 9060 XT—will I notice a significant difference? I create content full-time, so I do a lot of editing and streaming. I'd also love to have better performance for casual gaming. Thanks for any insights!

It mostly depends on the resolution you're gaming at. If you’re sticking to 1080p, the R7 5800X might hold you back a bit with higher-end GPUs like the 9060 XT, especially in CPU-intensive games. But for content creation and streaming, it should do just fine. You should see a decent performance increase with the upgrade, especially in rendering times and overall gaming FPS!
Yeah, I usually run 1080p too and I felt a noticeable boost when I upgraded my GPU. Just make sure your CPU and GPU are in sync for better performance!
