Bottleneck

[Walt]

HI everyone,

I am helping a friend with upgrading his current pc and I was wondering if there would be a cpu and GPU bottleneck.

 

We still don't know but will a i5-3470 @ 3,20GHz bottleneck a rx 580 8GB ?

and a rx 480 8GB or gtx 1060 6GB?

 

thanks!

His CPU would be fine with those cards.

Sorry I made a mistake. I said rx 550 but I mean 580, still okay?

It depends on the game. And I'm going to do a shameless plug:

However it's important to note what your requirements are, that they're reasonable, and they're not completely vague like "I want the system to perform the bestest it can!" Because more often than not, this isn't a thing you should be losing sleep over.

That's a vague requirement. How much FPS do you want at what resolution and graphics settings? Do you care about minimizing performance drops? Are you playing the cutting edge AAA titles or will be focusing more on earlier titles?

You should be fine save for Battlefield if you're playing 1. That game appears to want CPU horsepower.
