g4560 paired with a GTX 1060 6gb? Is it playable?

[Andreas_30]

Hi friends, i just wanna know if the g4560 is playable with the 1060 6 gb? I'm planning on upgrading the CPU and mobo in about a year or so, so i want a good GPU for the future. I know the g4560 is gonna bottleneck the 1060 6g. Or should i buy a different GPU?

Yeah, that CPU is very close in power to an i3.

According to this thread from earlier today:

An intel core i3 will bottleneck a gtx 1060.

Get a Ryzen 4 core maybe?

There is a slight bottleneck, but it's still better than i5 with 1050.
A Ryzen 4 core works too, seems like they'll be round $130, the price of an i3.
Assuming you can get one in the first few weeks it releases, it's a good bargain.

And it looks like the base level Am4 boards are going to be a steal so that might even the price out a bit.

Ok thanks guys 😀

g4560 + 1060 will give you higher performance than any for same price point. If you have money for better cpu, use that in this order

Upgrade gpu > upgrade ram(upto 16gig) > buy ssd
