does the G4560 bottleneck those cards?

Some heavier titles, but even an Intel i5 ''bottlenecks'' in some games.

Battlefield 1, one of the most CPU intensive triple AAA titles, holds on to 60 fps with a few drops towards the 40's. Quite telling of the G4560's power.

Also, 60+ FPS in Fallout 4 and The Witcher 3 most of the time.
