umm? not really it is the other way around

if CPU usage is 100%

and GPU is 80% ish than there is a bottlneck

and fun fact the ivy bridge i3 can keep up with an FX 8320 in games

so he shouldn't bottlneck with an i5

If you go play a newer game like dying light, or something like crysis 3 or something really intensive and watch your CPU usage. If it hits 80-90% usage while you are playing any of this then you have a bottleneck.

I have played dying light and this card is a piece of cake for Dying Light!

But didn't check the CPU usage!

So is this the only way to check whether it's bottlenecking my Card?
And you are saying if the CPU usage is 80-90% then this CPU is not well enough for Future Games..
Damn!!
