Will my CPU bottleneck an RX Vega 56 GPU?

[RamboPenguin]

I am considering purchasing the RX Vega 56 GPU when it is released later this month (assuming I can get one before they're sold out). I have been informed that my CPU may bottleneck my system if I upgrade to an RX Vega 56. A few have told me that a 1060 6gb graphics card would yield the most performance without losing any value due to a potential cpu bottleneck. If I upgrade my gpu, I would also like to upgrade my monitor to a 120hz or 144hz version in the future so that I can get more frames.

 

Current Build:

i5-4460

R9 380

60Hz 1080p Monitor

8GB RAM

1 TB HDD

250 GB SSD

 

Games I want to be able to play:

Shadow of War

Rainbow Six Siege

CSGO

Wolfenstein II (possibly)

Maybe, don't know yet.

No.

No.

Don't know. 

 

Also, why 60Hz panel with a card that can achieve more than 60Hz with good details?

 

Edit: I would definitely take an ultrawide 75Hz or higher panel if you can.

yes your CPU will hold you back especially at high refresh rate...otherwise, as it is right now your monitor is the biggest bottleneck to such a GPU.

Was on a budget when I originally built it, and it never really obtains a consistent 100+ fps on medium to high graphic settings.

With that CPU, you may run into issues trying to run games at 144hz.  My recommendation would be to move to 1440p60.  Other than CSGO, the games you listed would benefit more from higher details and resolution than ultra-high refresh rate.

Would that still necessitate a GPU upgrade as well?

If you're getting a new GPU and monitor, might as well go wider for more viewing space and higher refresh rates as well to make the most of it.

yes it will. if a 4690k is bottlenecking a 1070 then this will too
