[SOLVED] Will a i5 9400f bottleneck a rtx 2060?

Hello!
I'm building a new pc and wondering if the new i5 will bottleneck if paired with the rtx 2060?

Welcome to the forums my friend!

Bottleneck is an overused term and is completely dynamic. It completely depends on the application. No one component is "always" the bottleneck. In CPU intensive applications, your CPU will bottleneck, in GPU intensive applications, your GPU will bottleneck.

So it largely depends on what you want to do and what resolution you might be playing at, if you're referring to gaming, then the 9400f and 2060 are a fairly good match for 1080p.

I think that CPU is plenty fast enough for an RTX 2060.

I do not think that combination would suffer from any bottlenecks. I would consider a Ryzen build, even if it is a 2600/2600x, and either an RX 5700, or a 2060 super.

Thank you for the reply! Quick question, if I would for instance game on 1440p, will I the encounter some issues?

Thank you, I will look into that

The problem is the GPU 2060 is not as well suited for 1440p, it's best for 1080p, so you'll probably find the GPU may be limited slightly there. It will be OK on 1440p in many games, but might barely scrape the barrel on some, but top quality on 1080p, it is no issue.

Thank you, I will be ordering the cpu in a bit

Hey..
Did you assemble the system?
How is the performance?

Hello!
Yes and it's running very smooth and no bottleneck. Most of the games I play such as farcry 5, I'm getting avg 90 to 100 fps and in csgo, I get about 350-400 fps avg. I am very happy with it and recommend this combo.
