I5 6500 bottleneck?

[C-A-S-P-E-R]

Hi.

 

I'm looking to buy an Gtx 1080, but i'm worried that my current CPU (i5 6500) will bottleneck it...

 

i game at 3440x1440 at 100hz 

 

Thanks!

nah you will be fine for now

if a pentium g4560 only scales well up to GTX 1060 at 1080p
i dont see why 4 cores cant handle higher resolutions

you can actually test that resolution regardless of your monitor

 

in your Nvidia Control Panel you can manually create a resolution of 3440x1440
then you can run your games at that resolution and take a look for yourself before you buy the monitor

(yes it will looks bad on your current monitor, the fps wont lie)

I already have an 3440x1440 monitor (predator x34)
