Hi everyone, I would like to know if my i7 960 is not bottlenecking my 580 GTX because when I'm streaming on high settings, it's just getting a bit laggy and I think it's my CPU..

My questions :
- Does my CPU bottlenecks my GPU ?

- Is my CPU worth the upgrade ?

Thanks, I'm sorry if I'm a little bit unclear :(

You can push it to 4.0GHz easily. It also depends what motherboard and liquid cooler do you have.
