My question is in the title. Ive tried to do a search on this without getting any concrete answers...

System spec:

Sabertooth P67 motherboard, 2nd generation
i5 2500k @ 4,5ghz with a H100i watercooler
2x4GB 1600 mhz RAM (Corsair Vengeance)
Corsair HX 750W PSU
OCZ Vertex 3 128 gb SSD

Anyone? :)

A 2500k is a great chip and for that GPU there are few options. That being said there are cirtain situations when your 2500k will bottleneck your GPU even at that clock. 3d, multiple screens like eyfinity and higher resolutions.. Lots of MMOGs are cpu bound. Planetside would be the most current mainstream title. Your CPU will constantly be a bottleneck for your GPU in that game. Fortunatly your rig leaves you with plenty of power and you should almost never have to lower your settings for whats on the shelf right now.

Apparently plannetside is going to be getting another optimisation patch soon, so that should fix all of the cpu limitations a 2500k might still get since the last
