    Geforce 980ti will my computer bottleneck somewhere?
    « on: July 06, 2015, 03:26:23 PM »
    I'm about to purchase the latest Geforce 980ti, but I'm wondering if some of my old equipment might bottleneck it and not allow it's full potential. Can anyone tell me if I am going to get a bottleneck somewhere, where that might be? Thanks!

    I doubt it - I'd still be thinking of the CPU/board to be the next thing to upgrade but I doubt you'll have any issues with that system and the better video card.

      You don't think anything will slow it down at all then? Thanks!

        @camerongray - I am looking to upgrade the board and Cpu, but I'm waiting for Skylake first.

        I'd agree that your your CPU shouldn't hold you back much if at all, however I'd look at adding an SSD before upgrading the board & CPU.
