I'm looking to set up a gaming rig with a 5070 Ti graphics card paired with a 7800 X3D processor. I came across some bottleneck tests that suggest there will be a 23.3% bottleneck at 1920 × 1080 resolution. Is this accurate, or should I be skeptical of those reports?

Honestly, 1920x1080 is a solid choice for gaming. If you're focusing on something like CS2, it's a good way to ensure smooth performance without pushing your hardware to the max.
I wouldn't take those bottleneck calculators seriously. Instead, check out some real-world benchmarks and reviews to get a better idea of performance.
That bottleneck percentage isn't really helpful. Performance can vary widely based on the game and graphics settings. You might find you're CPU-bound in some scenarios and GPU-bound in others. Overall, the 5070 Ti and 7800 X3D should work well for most games.
Exactly, CS2 runs great at that resolution. Just optimize your settings for the best experience.
