will it bottleneck?

[CornFlour]

i was wondering if the i5 6400 will bottleneck the gtx 1060 msi 6gb?

No, but try to push for the 6500 if you dont own it yet, its better value.

it's a good match, the i5-6500 is worth it.

I5 6400 does in fact... Not bottleneck an RX470 (OC surpassing RX480) in all titles (21 games installed from past 5 years) except Witcher 3's city environments, which is heavy on most if not everyone in that area.

Even GTA5 had high usage but the game performance was not affected ie: GPU usage was normal at 99% 100%

 

Cant speak for GTX1060, have not built a system with one yet.

I'd say it wouldn't bottleneck, but Intel clocked the 6400 so low it doesn't make it a worthy investment compared to a 6500.  It's like a 15% boost for $20.

so only in the witcher i will see the drop of performance?
