[SOLVED] Is an I5-6500 good enough for an RTX 2060 super?

[Mr_terminator]

So I'm getting a new graphics card, the RTX 2060 super, and I was wondering if my cpu would start bottlenecking.
My cpu is the Intel I5-6500.

i5-6500 @ 3.20GHz has less than 15% bottleneck in many games and can cause minor FPS loss.

It will have a small bottleneck.
What games do you want to play and at what resolution?

Short answer, yes. Longer answer, it depends on what games and resolution.

If you are playing 1080p and trying to push 140fps+ then not a good combo at all! But if you are trying 1440p at 60fps then yes would be a perfect combo.

You will always do better with a stronger graphics card.
If you play fast action games, you will do much better.
OTOH, if your games are cpu limited, not so much.

Try this test:
Run YOUR games, but lower your resolution and eye candy.
If your FPS increases, it indicates that your cpu is strong enough to drive a better graphics configuration.
If your FPS stays the same, you are likely more cpu limited.
