More than likely thats your problem the resolution is holding your system back. My friend has an 8350 and a 780 and plays on 1600x900 and was getting lower frames than his 450 sli. But when he went to 1080p his frames dramatically increased. Your resolution doesn't require that much power so your components aren't working at their max potential. Is there any way you can try on 1080p monitor or tv?

Well I was using unigine valley on extremhd as said above min fps of 24 and Max 64 and score of 1350 but team fortress2 for instance is getting average of 200 whereas a friend with a much older and less powerful card is getting the same

Yeah its probably that the i5 runs this game faster. AMD cores are much weaker than Intel cores, and TF 2 isnt multithreaded really being and old game.

"Bottlenecks" occur on a game-by-game basis. Some games, even some newer ones, are so heavily GPU-bound that they don't even care about your processor after a certain point. Some games are CPU-bound no matter what you have. As a practical concern, bottlenecking across the board is a myth… it just depends on the varying workloads each game puts on your components.

Team Fortress 2 is an aging Source engine game, you can run that on nearly anything. Unigine Valley is designed as a GPU stress test, and your CPU is likely a very minor factor in your performance there unless you're running Prime95 at the same time.

Are you watching your temperatures and clock speeds during the benchmark? Maybe your 780 is getting too hot and throttling down. A lightweight game like TF2 would put the GTX 780 to sleep if you had some kind of framerate cap in use. Additionally, your 220 W processor is probably pretty hard to keep cool. Check that as well.

Do you play any other games, perhaps more intensive ones like Crysis 3 or Metro: Last Light or whatever? How does it behave there?

My GPU is running quite cool usually 32° - 50 under heavy load according to evga precision x but my CPU is usually around 50 according to hardware ID but I have read that this is not always acurate

I have played metro last light and I was on about 11 fps average had to turn graphics down to normal physx off an ssaa off aa down to 2x I think and then it ran at about 50 - 60 fps
