Will the MSI GTX 970 Twin Frozr V 2-way SLI bottleneck an i7 4790K?

Alessio7496 · May 17, 2015

Just wondering if the MSI GTX 970 Twin Frozr V in 2-way SLI will bottleneck an i7 4790K? Building a new PC, so I would like to know. Thanks for the help

It shouldn't.

Nope, it will not bottleneck unless the game is poorly optimized.

Well I think you mean to reverse the parts in the way you wrote the question. In 3d gaming the CPU would "bottleneck" GTX 970 SLI . The Data is being processed by the CPU then the CPU issues commands to the GPU. But to make a long winded conversation short, no your i7 4790k is fine for any GPU in SLI at this time.

Note: there is exceptions , Frostebite 2.0,3.0 game engine is said to utilize 6 cores.

Vitric9 :

which is why anyone buying the AMD FX 8-core cpus now will be good until 6/8 core Intel cpus become mainstream?

No it will not limit the performance of your CPU in anyway, unless the executable is poorly optimized for the specific hardware.

Shit. I'm kinda screwed then. Although I still believe that Ubisoft is being dickheads to PC users, I still want to run AC Unity and Syndicate and I know that syndicate is going to be poorly optimized for PC just like Unity.

What are the side effects of a bottleneck? How badly with my cards bottleneck the CPU?

Mugglensu1984 :

No, there already are games that use all cores. The FX 8 cores are obsolete now.

All he would need to do is overclock the i7.

Ok. I think i missed the point in both responses. I might be tired. I do not have a reply to both posts here.

The CPU you have is one of the best on the market, Obviously it won't be a bottleneck. If you had AMD, I might worry a bit but that's one of the best in the lineup. Even if you wanted to move up, there'd be nowhere to move up to.

Not even close. Here is some gameplay performance with this setup.
