[SOLVED] i7-6700 and RX-5500 XT?

[ManOfArc]

I'm trying to decide if putting an RX-5500 XT in an older i7-6700 machine for somebody would present a noticeable CPU bottleneck @ 1080p. Keeping in mind that the PCIe 4.0 RX-5500 XT is only an 8-lane card, and that it would be running at PCIe 3.0, its bandwidth would be cut down to ~8 GB/s if my math is correct.
What do you folks think? Still a CPU Bottleneck? Wasted GPU bandwidth?

At that performance level it is going to be fine.

If you have the 8GB version, it should be fine. If you have the 4GB version, it becomes a problem if you run out of VRAM.

Thank you both. Yes, it's the 8GB version.
