Could an i5 4590 be a bottleneck for a vega 56

[Dre___]

Thinking of getting a vega 56 would the 4590 be strong enough?

Would it be worth it to upgrade to a ryzen 2600?

Depends on what you would be using it for. For gaming it will depend on the game, in modern CPU heavy titles a 4590 might hold back vega 56 just a bit. To upgrade to a ryzen 2600 you would need a new mobo and DDR4 ram. I would at least try out the 4590 and see how it performs before you consider upgrading.

Have you found a vega 56 card for a decent price? Last I checked they were still well over MSRP.

depends on the game, try it first


if the i5 is not enough the best option would be a i7 4790k

the ryzen 2600 would be a waste of money for you because it requires new ram and mobo and is not better in gaming

It would prob be just fine, especially over 1080p.

@dunlop0078
I will most likely be using it for gaming and some streaming/recording here and there. The 4590 doesnt hold up too well with that but re live makes up for it. Im getting bottlenecked in BF1 and a little bit in overwatch. Ive found a strix vega 56 for 469 - 30 with a giftcard. Still a bit above MSRP but im just impatient.

@maxalge Im not too sure if I can even upgrade to a 4790k with my current MB "GIGABYTE G1 Gaming GA-B85M-Gaming 3"
