Will this CPU cause a bottleneck?

Sharks445 · May 18, 2014

Hello, I want to run an SLI config using two GTX 780ti. I just want to make sure my processor doesn't cause a bottleneck to these GPUs.
The CPU is i7 4770. If it does have a bottleneck, what's the best GPU setup to use without causing a bottleneck?

No a 4770 won't bottleneck SLI 780Ti. But what are you doing that needs SLI 780Ti's 4K?

high end gaming, 3d rendering and video editing, level creation, etc

That rig will definitely accomplish those goals for sure.
Why did you go SLI 780Ti's and a non K CPU though?

What are the rest of your specs including PSU so we can make sure nothing blows up on you.

Looks like you need a 2011 series processor, the 4930K. It will crank through the rendering and editing 50% faster.

My PSU is 800W. The reason I don't have a K version is because It's simply not worth it in my opinion, to overclock. I'm not going to spend $40 extra for k version, $30 for a overclocking motherboard, and $50-80 for a good cooler, just so I can get a few FPS increase. I diverted more of my money towards the GPU, as I orient this more towards gaming.

Ya that isn't really for gaming but it can make a huge difference rendering. If you've already got it don't sweat it not worth rebuilding. If you don't have it yet it may be a good idea as might a 4930x if you can swing it (only for a ton of rendering though.)

I've had the 4770 for quite some time now. I was using integrated until I had enough money for the GPUs.I'm going to expect a massive performance increase from Intel HD 4600 to dual 780TIs.

Haha graphics wise yes there is no comparison there.

the i7 4770 is a great choice of CPU, as good as the "K" when not overclocked. the 4770 can do a marginal overclock as well, so it's not completely "locked". Dual GTX 780Ti's will crush Intel HD Graphics 4600, easily.

Spectre; 4930X? No such thing. Do you mean 4930k or 4960X?

Ya I meant the 4930K. I got all those different k's ans x's confused for a minute there.
