will i5 1 generation will bottleneck my gpu.

[Quicksilver911]

Hello everyone, i'm thinking about my gpu upgrade, maybe some of you have similar cpu to mine, and had experience with this and could help me, so I have intel core i5 750 2.66 ghz and boost up to 3.3ghz, 4 physical cores, overclocking is impossible on my motherboard all locked, because it's HP computer, i want to upgrade my gpu, from EVGA GTX 750ti sc, to a GTX 1060, or Radeon RX 480. So other qusteion is will my cpu will bottleneck my gpu, and if it will how strong the bottleneck will be.
Another quetion i'm playing only in 1080p, is it necessary to buy a 6gb version, or for my resolution 3gb is enough, i've watched many tests and reviews, some say you need to go for 6 gb, some say you don't need 6gb for full hd gaming. Right now i have a gtx 750 ti with 2gb with vram, in some games it fills all the 2gb, and the game starts to lag, so i'm bit confused, i hope you can help me, thanks.

yes it will bottleneck


the 6gb not only has twice the vram but is also not neutered internally like the 3gb version is



the question becomes does your power supply have a 6-pin pcie cable?

a rx 470/gtx 960 would be a better match for your system

if you could only overclock the old workhorse...


if you intend to upgrade your system soon then getting the 6gb 1060 is justified

your i5 750 should be fine for those cards. you should be okay with your current PSU as the GTX1060 for example only has a max 120 power draw, so you have a bit of leeway. But you might wanna get a better PSU if your thinking of overclocking any components.

You shouldn't experience much bottlenecking, maybe a little, but will hardly be noticeable.

I found video on youtube, where one guy, tested gtx 1080 on the same processor that i have, there was a bottleneck on lower resolutions but as the resolution were changed to higher the bottleneck, got smaller and smaller because, the higher res, the more gpu has to work. Here's the video:http://
I want a 1080p no compromise gaming, with gtx 960 it's not posible, and it is not futureproof, yes i will afterwards upgrade my system, but i don't know when maybe on christmas maybe later. What i'm asking will there be severe bottleneck on every game, or on specific open world games, and if the bottleneck is little, i can live with that, so what do you think?
And my PSU don't have a have a 6-pin pcie cable, but i have a molex to pci-e adapter, and the power draw from gtx 1060 is only 120w, and i saw, some guys on internet who put this card on 300-350wats psu, so i think my 450 wats will handle this card well. Another question i can't decide, maybe i should get the rx 480, there is info on internet, that on dx12 games the rx480 will overtake the gtx 1060, we already see this on hitman dx 12, even gtx 1060 oc can't catch the rx480, i'm bit confussed, maybe you could give me some advice, on which gpu i should get and why, maybe the it will be easier for me to decide. thanks for your help.

I would use a proper PSU with the correct connectors. It's not just wattage you need to consider.

1060 or 480 will do fine. Yes it'll bottle neck even at 1080p on some games...old processor that's relatively low clocked. But if you plan to upgrade the 1060 or 480 will do well.

Yes, some dx12 games see amd hardware take a lead, others not so much. Id still go 1060 6gb.

you really need to not look to youtube for accurate comparisons

the gtx 1080 is known to be bottlenecked by much better processors, really need at least an overclocked i5 2500k, or i7 2600k



you are already compromised by your processor, a gtx 1070 would be optimal for no compromise 1080p and since you said you are upgrading then it is a good buy. Do not expect to get full usage out of it however until you upgrade the rest of the system



anyways the whole thing is moot, your power supply lacks 6-pin pcie cable

using adapters is not recommended for such low tier psu's, that is just asking to loose your nice new card



step 1 becomes: get a decent 550w power supply to run a nice overclocked i5 setup with a gtx 1070
