i5-10600K GPU Bottleneck Benchmark vs. 2080 Ti, 2070 Super, 2060 KO, 5700 XT, & More

Intel's i5-10600K is one of the best gaming CPUs right now, embattled vs. the R5 3600 & R3 3300X, so we need to look at when the i5-10600K bottlenecks GPUs and the best GPU for the 10600K.

Benchmarks for this are at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K. The goal of this benchmark isn't to determine the best CPU -- you can check our reviews for that -- but rather to determine at which point the GPU becomes bound by the CPU. For our CPU reviews, like the recent Intel i9-10900K, i5-10600K, and AMD Ryzen CPU reviews, we run benchmarks that are primarily structured around eliminating or bypassing a GPU bottleneck; however, we only do this within reason, so we never step-down to unrealistic resolutions or graphics settings. The end result is that a CPU review is great for determining an objective best CPU for each use case, but leaves some gaps of information to be filled on the GPU front. For this benchmark, we're using higher graphics settings, higher resolutions, and more GPU-intensive scenarios to determine when GPUs become limited by the CPU. This includes a light 10600K overclock. Video cards benchmarked include the 2080 Ti, 2070 Super, 2060 Super, 2060 KO, AMD 5700 XT, and AMD 5600 XT. For a CPU-constrained benchmark, more representative of ultra-high framerates for players who are less graphics-focused and more framerate-focused, check out our initial reviews of the parts. We have an Intel 10600K tuning video linked above.
