It doesn't bottlenect my ASUS gtx 580 directcu ii @930/1860/2200 cause when I run battlefield 3/crysis 2, I see 99% gpu usage on msi afterburner. But I am upgrading my gpu to ASUS gtx 670 directcu ii top within a week and wondering if there will be any bottlenecks?

I am running my i5 760 at 3.6ghz with 1.325v core 200x18multiplier
 
Solution
there would be no sign of any bottleneck, i5 760 with 3.6Ghz is still too much even for SLI/CF.
Core 2 quad q9650 will not bottleneck 670, so i5 is way too much better.

well I am selling the gtx 580 on ebay for about $300, so I am pretty much spending $100 for a card that performs about 25-40% better. Also the gtx 670 is smaller and cooler so I will have room for sli later on.

But my only question is, will there be any bottlenecks from the cpu?
