Best GPUs for this CPU, bottleneck check, and compatible graphics cards
AMD EPYC 7773X / AMD made / EPYC / Released 2022 Also known as: 7773X / EPYC7773X
AMD EPYC 7773X (AMD, released in 2022, also listed as 7773X / EPYC7773X) is a CPU with a performance score of 100,000, 64C / 128T, TDP 280W. If GPU compatibility and performance balance are poor, a Bottleneck occurs, preventing the GPU or CPU from reaching its full potential. In our estimate, the GPU that pairs best with AMD EPYC 7773X is GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER (estimated bottleneck: about 0%). Below are the top 10 compatible GPUs and a guide to GPUs to avoid.
GPUs are ordered by proximity to the ideal CPU:GPU ratio of 0.9:1. A lower bottleneck percentage means the combination can use more of its performance.
AMD EPYC 7773X is a server/workstation CPU. These estimates use assumptions that differ from ordinary gaming systems.
If you want higher graphics settings or plan to keep the PC for years, you can pick a GPU one step stronger. AMD EPYC 7773X will fall slightly behind (a bottleneck of 10% or less), but a later CPU upgrade will let the GPU run at full strength.
The Bottleneck Checker opens with AMD EPYC 7773X already selected.
AMD EPYC 7773X (7773X / EPYC7773X) has a performance score of 100,000 points. Using the same CPU:GPU ≈ 0.9:1 standard as the checker, compatibility by GPU score is shown below.
| GPU Score to Pair | Rating | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| Below 11,111 points | GPU Too Weak | The GPU is too weak for this CPU. Some of AMD EPYC 7773X performance remains unused (e.g., GeForce GTX 1660 Ti、Intel Arc A580 8GB、GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER) |
| 11,111–18,519 points | Great Match: 10% or Less | Optimal balance. Both CPU and GPU can deliver nearly full performance (ideal: about 16,667 pts) |
| 18,519–22,222 points | Acceptable: 10–25% | The GPU is somewhat strong. This is practical, but the CPU may hold it back under heavy load. |
| Over 22,222 points | CPU Bottleneck: Over 25% | The GPU is too powerful for AMD EPYC 7773X to use fully (e.g., Radeon RX 7800 XT、Radeon RX 6800 XT、GeForce RTX 4070、GeForce RTX 5060 Ti) |
Note: Perceived results vary by resolution and game (GPU matters more at 4K, while CPU matters more at high-fps Full HD). For an exact estimate, use the Bottleneck Checker.

Our estimate finds that GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER offers the best balance, with an estimated bottleneck of about 0%. A CPU-to-GPU performance ratio near 0.9:1 tends to use both parts effectively. See the top 10 compatible GPUs in the table on this page.
Pairing AMD EPYC 7773X with a powerful GPU scoring over 22,222 points (for example, Radeon RX 7800 XT、Radeon RX 6800 XT、GeForce RTX 4070、GeForce RTX 5060 Ti) is likely to create a CPU bottleneck above 25%.Conversely, a GPU below 11,111 points（例: GeForce GTX 1660 Ti、Intel Arc A580 8GB、GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER） leaves some of AMD EPYC 7773X performance unused.
AMD EPYC 7773X has 64 cores and 128 threads.Its base clock is 2.2GHz and maximum boost clock is 3.5GHz.The socket is SP3.
AMD EPYC 7773X has a TDP of 280W. As a guideline, choose a power supply that covers the CPU TDP plus GPU power draw, with additional headroom.
Its performance score is 100,000 points. CPU–GPU balance matters for games, while core count (64C / 128T) matters for video editing and AI preprocessing. Check the top 10 GPUs above for your use case. GPU VRAM is the main factor for running generative AI, so also see each GPU detail page.
