My card is the EVGA Nivida Geforce GTX 780 and my cpu is the AMD FX 4100. I have lost no performance in the GPU. Everywhere I look up the gpu and cpu should bottleneck. I sort of know what bottle eck means but not fully
 
Solution
Your processor should be a bottleneck for your graphics card. A bottleneck means that a piece of hardware in your computer is holding back the performance of other parts of your computer. In this case your GPU would be bottlenecked by your processor since an FX 4100 isn't that great for gaming. If you were to compare the performance of your computer towards another computer with the exact same parts but with an i5 processor then you would see that the computer with an i5 would outperform your build. Your current processor should REALLY bottleneck your processor and you should consider upgrading to something like an i5 or at least an fx-8xxx processor.

I agree 100%.

The only time where there will be no bottlenecking is when your playing some old games like portal 2. Those hardly take anything to run.

Thank you. As soon as I have enough money I'll upgrade my CPU.
