Will a dual Intel Xeon x5550 bottleneck a GTX 1060

[tycho68]

Hi guys,

First of all thanks for even reading my question.
As you have already seen, will a dual Intel Xeon x5550 bottleneck a GTX 1060.

And if it will do, around how much fps could I get more with an I6600?

Btw, I know that I can't switch to an I6600 without changing the motherboard etc.

Thanks guys!

I can't think of any game that would actually utilize two separate Xeon 5500 processors, so your question boils down to would a GTX 1060 suffer from a bottleneck with a nearly eight year old, quad-core processor.

The answer to your question fully depends on if the game in question is more GPU dependent or CPU dependent (and you can find that our for yourself). GPU dependent, you should be ok. CPU dependent and you'll run into problems.

You will see a bottleneck in a heavy cpu games especially single threaded ones.
For your question i5 6600 will be alot better and its worth the upgrade from a gaming perspective, in some heavy games you are looking at 20 fps boost or even more.

No, it wont bottleneck. All the other posts are written in lack of knowledge. I got a z600 Worksation mit Dual X5550 and 18 GB RAM (1333) paired with a GTX 1070. And the CPU's arent the Bottleneck. I got 16k in Firestrike. i play SW Battlefront/BF4/BO3/RUST/MISCREATED and a lot of other games maxed out, even in 4k, it doesnt struggle. Always over 60FPS. maybe in 4k some drops to 40. but not lower. So u dont have to upgrade. i mean: a x5550 is comparable to a first gen i7. Two of them.... 😀

Older Hardware is not always badest way to game. Paired with an 1060 it will run nealry all games on maxed out. Ive seen a Video with a GTX 970 an my Workstation on youtube. And i also worked perfect. So believe me: It will not bottleneck.

I have a dual xeon 5500 with a gtx 1060 and 4 gig of ddr2 ram. But only get 20 fps while playing dying light at low setting. is it because of my ram?
