7400 bottleneck 2060?

[bloodskull]

so i want to upgrade to a 2060 from an 1050ti but i have a i5 7400 and have a felling that the 7400 would bottleneck the 2060. i have tried using the bottleneck calculate but it does not have the 2060. dose anyone know if it would be bottleneck? and what power dose the 2060 use/need? 6 pin or 8 pin?

It would probably.

I'd go for "needs 8" pin just to be safe

Only bottleneck would be having 8gb of ram

Depends on the manufacturer (6 or 8 pin) , a 2060 its like a 1070 if you want to calculate.

Dont worry about bottlenecks, I played with a 2500k+ rx480 8gb and saw an amd 6100 running with that.

Just control your cpu usage while gaming, If its at 100% you are bottlenecked and you will stutter on games, but there is a way to counter that, Just limit your fps , play at more resolution or put your graphic at max

If you came from a 1050ti you wont regret that, and you just could buy (if its too hard the bottleneck) a 7600 second hand(With warranty since is not too old).

Bottleneck depends on the game. In Battlefield V any 4c/4t is too weak, most other games are fine. To be fair, a GPU bottleneck isn't all bad, if you intend to keep it for a few years when you upgrade to a faster CPU.

No it won't bottleneck it in most circumstances with resolutions up to 1080p and fps up to 60.

I ran a 3570k at 4.4ghz (probably a bit faster than i5 7400, maybe equal, but definitely not worse) with a GTX 1080 (around as fast as a 2060) at 1440p and the experience was god awful. 0/10, would not recommend. A 1060 6gb would probably be okay, but anything faster would be sketchy IMO. If you threw in a 7700 or 7700k stock even a 2060 would be fine, but I wouldn't pair it with a 7400 unless you're playing at 4k on a 2060 for some reason.
