Ryzen 7 5700X with RX 6800 XT: Bottleneck & FPS

The Ryzen 7 5700X and RX 6800 XT pair well, with the graphics card setting the pace at 1440p: about 85 FPS on average in AAA games at High settings, with 1% lows around 67 FPS. At 1080p the Ryzen 7 5700X becomes the limit (11% CPU bottleneck at 1080p); from 1440p upward the RX 6800 XT takes over and the CPU has capacity to spare. In esports titles such as CS2 or Valorant expect around 258 FPS, enough for a 144 Hz monitor, while CPU-heavy games like Microsoft Flight Simulator drop to about 60 FPS with a 44% CPU bottleneck. Ray tracing costs this AMD card more than an equivalent NVIDIA GPU: about 28 FPS with RT on at 1440p.
