Will it bottleneck?

[begadelavela]

Hi guys I want to know difference between i3 6100 and i5 6500 in gaming with 1060 in games like BF1,BF4, World of Tanks, CS GO, RaiinbowSS, Ghost recon Wildlands, Forza Horizon 3... Will i3 6100 bottleneck with 1060 and that stuff. THX Guys

[NTDaws]

Well I know CS:GO will probably get like 120fps. Even with a i3. You could just watch YouTube videos and that would be good enough.

[Garett1]

Most Likely. Go with the i5.

But how much better the i5 would be?

[Litargirio]

The 6100 will most certainly not bottleneck the 1060, though I don't know what kind of FPS you'll get with it. You should try to research some benchmarks on a per-game basis to see how that i3 does in whatever games you want to play.

i5 will handle much better games like BF1 CSGo GTA5

[NTDaws]

It will be way better, especially since it has 4 cores instead of 2 cores, many games demand 4 cores.

BF1,BF4,

In 64 man servers, probably.

World of Tanks

While it did get improved, I still think the i3 would be enough for wot.

get the i5 since it is a quad core compared to a dual core.

So WoT is really demanding or?

[SnowyMus]

Depends. Pretty much any CPU can bottleneck any of those games, like if you try to run SLI with GTX 1080s at 1080p because lol.

 

The i3-6100 is an excellent CPU for the money that should pull at least 60 FPS on medium to high settings with little stuttering for most of those games with that 1060.

 

That said, the i5-6500 is consistently better and you wouldn't be having this discussion if you were going to get it. If you can afford it, I'd recommend getting it, but it's not a big deal right now. I'd consider upgrading later, though.

 What he is trying to convey is that it's mostly a single threaded workload, meaning that the extra cores of the i5 would be sitting around, watching, as a single core does most of the work.

Don't listen to him, he's a derp.

 

Your profile picture is 10/10.

What about i5 6400?

It's a little slower at 2.7 GHz, but I wouldn't count it out. It's a great chip if you're just gaming.

Lookin at 400 fps at 1080

No, it had one of the worst multi threading implementations I have seen pre 9.14. It runs easily on low end hardware.

[TheLaserCucumber]

lol the i3 will bottleneck in BF1. My i7 6700K is at 100% in 10vs10 fights

[idmb]

The i3 will not bottleneck those games, and will be fine with most games currently released. BUT. The time will come when the i3 will bottleneck and the i5 won't, so it's worth the extra money not just by performing better now but performing better for LONGER.   

 

Think like a summation, if you compare current performance per dollar it doesn't win but if you sum lifetime performance per dollar the i5 wins.

An i3-6100 for battlefield 1 and you think it can sustain a GTX 1060 which is basically the performance of a GTX 980 with more video memory?

yeah, no...even my i7-4770K is seeing 85 to 100% loads sometimes playing battlefield 1 multiplayer:

Yep I got 6700K @ 4.5 GHZ and sometimes it reaches 80-90%, never saw higher tho yet, but its obvious theres somthing wrong in optimisation, unless BF1 brings the time of the 8 cores + gaming performance
