I need a yes or no with little specification

It doesn't matter what it scores on passmark. That tells us nothing about gaming performance. Give us real world benchmarks for gaming. A synthetic test tells pretty much nothing about how games will really perform.

When you buy an RTX 2070 you don't get it for just 1080p. You get an RTX 2070 for 1440p or maybe 4K if you don't mind playing on some lower settings. Well of course there are exceptions. If you want 144hz you might get it for a 1080p monitor. But somebody going with budget hardware probably won't play at 144hz or higher. Yes it will bottleneck a bit at 1080p depending on the game and the...

bottleneck is over-used too much, it should just stand for heavy imbalance between CPU and GPU.
Resolution matters too, if you play 1080, GPU is overkill
However for 1440p, this is a good pair.
do you have a tentative list? May check for you too.

Yes it will bottleneck a bit at 1080p depending on the game and the exact settings used. It won't play as fast as the intel counterpart but does it matter? Is it slow enough to really say I'd get the Intel part every time? No. It's less than 5% slower if you play at settings I'd recommend which are either high or ultra AT 1440P.

So if your goal is max fps at 1080p then yeah, the cpu won't get you as many frames as say an 8600k, but I wouldn't really call it a bottleneck as it still performs great. At anything above 1080p, it's not going to have this issue, or at least to a much less degree
