Working on an upgrade for a family member. Would like to get them to 1440p @ 144 with free sync.

would an i3 bottle neck a 5700? My first inclination is that we need to move up to an i5 to make good use of that video card upgrade.

thoughts?
 
Depends on the game, but there is most likely performance left on the table with such a configuration, at least at sub-4K resolutions.
 
Yes, it will bottleneck. The best you can expct in newer games is 45-60 fps minimum.

Check out this Anantech Bench (just comp[pare the 1080p max for each game tested, as those actually push that CPU)_

Borderlands 3 min is 60, while RDR2 AND GTA5 is 45.

If you're setting this up for any period of time, I would upgrade to an i5 (INCLUDED IN LINK) (up to 40% faster in games , and up to 70% faster in everything else)
 
Reminds me of gaming on a Surface Pro 7. Have high end Iris Pro (or Xe Graphics with the upcoming SP8) with a fanless CPU set to 1GHz/7W TDP configuration. Basically 60fps when you are a static scene, but as soon as the action starts going the fps crashes.

Any chance that's the wrong link? Was it supposed to be something like this? - https://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/2401?vs=2342
