I'm currently 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?

I mean there will be some bottlenecking as that mobile CPU isn’t the fastest but it will work. Just make sure you can find the drivers first
