will my ryzen 5 3600 bottleneck this at 1080p? null

So when a game is running the fps is ultimately determined by the slowest operation (for the most part). The CPU is handling the A.I, Physics, Sound, etc and then calling out the GPU to render the frame in which the GPU then renders the frame. At lower resolutions that frame can be rendered by a high end video card "almost instantly" and thus going to depend on how often the CPU can pump out render calls to the GPU as it will almost always be ready thus causing the bottleneck to be on the CPU. At higher resolutions that render is going to take some time and thus the CPU has to wait until it was done rendering the previous frame before it takes the instruction to render the next frame. Ideally if you are CPU bound it should be when it is in the very high FPS such as in many Source games on a decent computer where that CPU is pumping out 100-200+ frame calls a second. In a game like AC it could also be the base line A.I, sound, physics, etc which doesn't change with resolution taking up a solid amount of the CPU time before it calls out to render. A i9-10900k or AMD 3900x or higher would be recommended for this card for you to get the most out of this GPU. I currently only use 20%-35% (RTX TITAN) of my cpu with a 10900k. If you worried about CPU bottleneck I would recommend getting the 3080 just for shear price and even if you had a 2080 ti currently, you would see a performance gain.

The 3090 will more than likely bottle any CPU at 1080. Higher clocks are what will help in this scenario.

At 1080p it will definitely bottle neck but honestly all current gen cpus will. At max settings on 4k (or 8k of you can afford that level of monitor) then the bottleneck won't be nearly as bad

What games are you trying to play, across how many monitors and at what frame rate. If you're looking for 360Hz Ultra detail or 3 monitors this may very well be the way to go... it's all relative. It depends.

At 1080P, your processor is doing almost all the work in your games. You may not see any difference in your gameplay with this card paired to that processor when playing in 1080P. You would need to up your resolution to 1440P or 4K if you wanted to really push this card at all. Playing at 4K really pushes the GPU over the CPU, but you'd still want to upgrade your CPU if you get this card. If you are a gamer, this card is more or less designed to support 4K gaming at 60-120 FPS reliably. Get a 3080 or AMD's Big Navi if you are playing in 1440P or lower resolutions (honestly those cards are probably overkill right now for that too, but future games will require a lot more resources, so it will balance). VR gameplay with high FPS can also be achieved with a 3080 or the AMD's Big Navi no problem. That all being said, the 3090 is going to be much more future proofed as compared to the 3080 or Big Navi. Chances are in 2-3 years when the 4000 series comes out, you won't really feel the need to upgrade. If ya got the cash, case, right processor, and power to support this, gopher it!

Yes it would however we hit the 1080p cap, ANY cpu will bottleneck the 2080ti/3080/3090 gpus at 1080p[ source: gamers nexus & linusTech], just get a cheaper card, has more value to you. Now if planning on multiple monitors that changes as its no longer 1080p, but this card shows as being for 1440/4k

for 1080p, go with a 3070, even a 3080 is over powered for what you need, or pick up a used 2080 Ti for cheep for 1080p

If your 3600 is on a x570 or b550 motherboard and you plan on using it for 4k then no. 1080p and using 400 or 300 series motherboard with pcie gen 3 only then yeah it will most likely bottleneck.

you might need something better

Seriously??? The answer would be, duh...nhaven

Dont waste a 3090 on 1080p.
