Bottleneck? ¿

Aight so a year ago the dumb me thought it was a good idea to buy RX580 8gb and put it in my monkey I5 3440, 8Ram ddr 3 800 mhz pc
Now I am aware the cpu is bottlenecking my gpu but the question is how much is it bottlenecking ?
Also I got a new system now with ryzen 3600 and 2x8 ddr 4 3000 mhz rams, would the rx580 be compatible in this system or it will bottleneck the cpu? ¿
Thanks in advance
 
Depends what you are doing with it, not much info given.
 
This all depends heavily on the games you play. You'll likely be heavily CPU bound with the 3440, but exactly how much will vary from game to game, and will also depend on what kind of monitor you're using.

You can totally still use that RX580 with the new setup, particularly if you're willing to compromise on the detail and AA. You'll likely be GPU bound with the Ryzen 3600, but exactly how badly will depend on what games you're playing and the resolution and refresh rate of your monitor.

It should be noted that you will always have one component in your system that is the limiting factor and is "bottlenecking" the system. This doesn't necessarily matter as long as whatever the weakest link in the system is can provide satisfactory performance.

You'll likely be somewhat CPU bound in PUBG and maybe GTAV, but most of the games you've mentioned are specifically designed to be playable on older, slower hardware.

You can test for whether you're CPU bound by logging data using something like afterburner, or the performance metrics feature that comes with the AMD driver. What you're looking for is situations where you have less 60 FPS, low GPU utilization and high CPU utilization.
 
Your games will play fine. Enjoy.

If you want an upgrade go at least 1660 super/ti or a 5700.
 
If you have all the parts why not just check it out and see? Like RazorWind said get a logging/monitoring software like afterburner and just see what happens
