i5 4690k good enough for new GPUs ?

CROcodile20 · Apr 26, 2015

I have an i5 4690k OCd @ 4,2 GHz. Will my CPU bottleneck the newest Nvidia graphics cards (like these in this article http://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2015/03/17/pascal/) ?
I just want to know how much futureproof is my CPU?
I currently have a GTX 970 and its a good combination.

I would say yes. You're still good for about a few more years. You don't need to upgrade from the GTX 970 to one of the new Pascal GPUs when they come out cause that will be waste.

Your i5 would be "good" for several more generations of video cards. Your i5 would be very strong even when your 970 is complete garbage.

The newest cards are gtx 970 and 980. I5s are fine to run them. We'll see what happens gown the track. If cards get more powerful, I'm sure i5s will also get more powerful.
