I'm using a Ryzen 5600G and I'm considering getting the RTX 5060 Ti with 12GB of VRAM. I'm worried about whether my CPU will bottleneck the performance of the GPU. What do you think?

Definitely a consideration! While we don't have a ton of testing data yet, I think the 16GB version of the RTX 5060 Ti might fare better due to the additional VRAM. I heard that Hardware Unboxed is working on benchmarks that might shed some light on setups like yours. Just keep in mind, there will still be some bottlenecking, so you might want to think about a different GPU if that's a concern for you.
Yeah, the Ryzen 5600G could bottleneck the RTX 5060 Ti. The CPU isn't super fast, plus you're running on PCIe 3.0, which can limit the GPU's potential. Even if you had PCIe 4.0, since the 5060 series cards run at x8 instead of x16, it wouldn't fully utilize the GPU's power.
Thanks for the info! I was thinking the 16GB version would help, but if it's still a bottleneck, I might just look for a cheaper option.
