I'm planning on buying an egpu with thunderbolt 2 and hook it up on my iMac. So, will an i5-5250u bottleneck a Zotac GTX 1060 6gb Mini over Thunderbolt 2? If so will at least play games such as Overwatch, League of legends, Vampyr and Fortnite at 60 fps medium settings or lower? Also I'm using windows through bootcamp.

Hi,

The Forums belong to PC Specialist and so it is not possible to make recommendations of competitor equipment but in relation to your enquiry there is a good video on the YouTube channel Linus Tech Tips where he is comparing a high end gaming laptop against a mid level gaming laptop against a mobile laptop running an external GPU. I think that video will help answer your question about bottlenecks.
