Is there a single GPU out there that will bottleneck a I5-2500K

xaephod · Nov 19, 2015

Wondering if there is a single GPU that can bottleneck a I5-2500K, mine OC'ed to 4.4Mhz.
If not, at what point would an I5-2500K become the bottleneck? Or will not become a bottleneck with today's single GPU choices? How about SLI? 2 way, 3 way?

Thanks

Depends on the game. Some are far more CPU intensive than others.

The i5 2500k is still a very good chip and as far as I know nothing would bottleneck it unless its like a 2xTITAN Z that could possibly and running at that speed I would say another 2-3 years before it is a serious bottleneck. I haven't had any bottleneck with my r9 290 nor heard of any so far with it OC'd

No not really when overclocked.

Having said that at 1440p 144hz my 970, is getting my 3570k @4.3 up to 95% on BF4, on heavily populated maps. Hitting 90fps average or thereabouts. Drop that to 1080p@60 and everything is underloaded.

That site isn't very useful; they don't take into account the various games, etc. All it does is sort of match CPUs and GPUs without benchmarks or expected FPS on specific games. Something like http://www.techspot.com/review/991-gta-5-pc-benchmarks/page6.html answers the question; it proves that an i5-2500K at 4.4 GHz won't bottleneck a GTX Titan.
