GTX 980 and i7 4770?
Hello guys, i was thinking of getting GTX 980 after a while, my current CPU is Core i7 4770, do you guys think my CPU is going to bottleneck GTX 980?.

My current PC specs:

CPU: Core i7 4770 @ 3.4 GHz
GPU: MSI GTX 680 Twin Frozr III 2GB
Motherboard: Gigabyte G1 Sniper Z87
RAM: 8 GB
PSU: 650 Watts.

Thanks.

*facepalm*

People have no idea what a bottleneck means these days.

No.

Try 3 or 4 of the 980's in SLI and maybe you will find a bottleneck by the CPU.

an i7-2770K is on par with the top CPU's at any price. Yes LGA2011 has more PCIe lanes - but reviews show they don't really get much better framerates than the same graphics setup on an LGA1150 board.

No bottleneck at all. That is an incredibly powerful CPU.
