Will an i7-6700k bottleneck RTX 2060??

[Collision._.]

Hi so as the title says , will an i7-6700k bottleneck RTX 2060 at 144hz 1080p monitor??
Sorry for my bad English.

144fps in games takes a fast cpu and gpu

it also depends on the game, some are hardcoded for 30-60fps
for most, if overclocked, no problem

[OLDMAN🎅]

Depends on the game on a game like TF2 2060 is just a waste of money tf2 it's just more CPU dependent.

No mainstream games are hardcoded for 30-60 fps. Thats for consoles, and youre wrong with the whole '144 fps takes a faster cpu and gpu' because obviously he doesnt need 144fps for games like assassin's creed odyssey but more for games like CSGO and siege, which can literally run on a low spec pc from 2010.

A 2060 isnt a waste of money as it sets you up for the long term and doesnt limit you to the types of games you can play. Theres no point getting a slower card when you can afford a 2060 and an i7...

Your specs are fine and balanced well, you will possibly have to upgrade your cpu to something with more cores in the future but thats ages away. Possibly consider upgrading your monitor to a 144hz 1440p to get the most out of your card

NFS: Rivals and Red Alert 3 are hardcoded for 30. Fallout 4 and Tekken 7 are hardcoded for 60. Just some examples. Playing around with FPS cap in any of those games lead to all kinds of issues.

Dont worry, it`s fine card for your PC and monitor.

Thank you so much everybody!! Means a lot :)

BTW I play siege a lot and planning on buying division 2 and battlefield 5 will it affect my CPU or GPU in any way??

Skyrim is actually hard coded to 60FPS. Skyrim SE only recently added support for 144Hz monitors in its latest update.

@OP:
The i7-6700K will not bottleneck any RTX GPU.

Skyrim LE isn't hard-coded to 60fps and never was afaik. The Havok physics engine causes objects to fly around if ini tweaks aren't made when uncapping the fps.
Ditto with SE and FO4.

This is how it was done.

or this more recently than the ini tweaks

No. I mean not in a way where you'd be better off getting a weaker GPU. It's basically in the same class as a 1070 or 980 ti, and people were running those cards on i7 6700's (and weaker CPU's) all the time...

split second was hardcoded for 30, there is an unlocker to make it 60, but no more

there are a handful of others
okami, coded for 30fps, any attempt to change makes it unplayable
https://store.steampowered.com/app/587620/OKAMI_HD/

but again most games are fine at 60-200+fps

The 6700k is still an extremely good CPU for gaming and don´t even bother to think about upgrading it if gaming is all you do.

I have overclocked mine to 4.8 ghz on all cores but never seen it bottleneck my 1080, your 2060 should be just fine.

[Azza ☠]

Nope

[Malygos]

Depends on the game cpu heavy games like battlefield or assassins creed and maybe even far cry 5 in some parts it will and thats overclocked

This guys is at 4.7 and gpu isnt maxing out on the 2060 hardly ever

[vadim]

I hate term "bottlenecking &, but as a rule of a thumb: no, your CPU will NOT bottleneck RTX 2060 at any circumstances. And you don't need to overclock it - it works fine at stock speed.

[ⒸⒶⓁⒸⒾⓊⓂ]

it won't bottleneck 2060 i think. but it certainly will bottleneck 2080, like in my case, an i5 6600K paired with 2080, and 2080 got bottlenecked epic style
