Which GPU should i buy which wont be bottlenecked by a i5 6500.

AMD or Nvidia, I dont care since i am not loyal to any brand.

I can either get a:
gtx 1050ti

gtx 1060 3gb

rx 470

rx 460

Which of these wont be bottlenecked and be able to run atleast low settings for the next 3 years.

Well strictly speaking, it should be the most powerful card out of the bunch, usually the 1060 3GB, but sometimes the rx 470 wins out, usually in DX 12 titles. And I don't think any of those gpus will be bottlenecked by an i5 6500.

But it has only 4gb Vram dont you think that can be a possible bottleneck?

 

not if you're only playing 1080p. vram doesnt effect performance until you run out, at 900p/1060 theres not alot of games if any that you will run out.

rx470/gtx1060. it depends on what games you play, but overall the gtx 1060 is better. 

The 6gb is better, while the 3G isn't necasarily. Because tech naming is the way it is, nvidia named 2 VERY different cards the same thing.

No it will not. Don't worry about vram or bottlenecks.

Because you wrote it? I was responding to your point that the 1060 was better because it isn't nessacsrily.

oh. well I assumed because the gtx 1060 performs a bit better in dx11 benchmarks than the rx480 then the gtx 1060 would be better than the rx470.
