4790k possible bottleneck on my vid card?

[threebills77]

I hqve an Intel 4790k OC'D to 4.6 and replaced my asus 980 TI with an evga 1080 FTW....everyhing looks great,runs smooth as sht,but i have read some people experience bottlenecks,maybe its another problem such as not properly wiping and resetting frivers,but i just wanted to get some opinions.Is it possible that the 4790k running at 4.6 ghz can bottleneck th evga 1080 FTW? thaks for the advice in advance.

No, you have to go back a few more generations to find a CPU that causes software to underperform with even the most recently released graphics cards.

thanks for the reply,i was told as long as i have 100% gpu usage it-s not- a problem,but i just ran starwars battlefront and it was between 95 to 98 % it never went over that- far as usage,think thats a problem? should  i overclock the chip from 4.6 to maybe 4.7 or 4.8?aia mean everything looked gret and ran smooth,im just wondering why it -never hit 100 % usage

Considering as you say you don't really have any issues, It sounds like you got a bit caught up in the all-too-common "gamer *censored*-waving contests" (for lack of a more polite term!).

GPU usage being lower than 100% could simply mean the game doesn't utilize the GPU 100%. For reference, rendering a basic, rotating Cube at 120fps won't use 100% GPU but it doesn't mean there is a bottleneck. Even if there was some disparity in performance, 98% with one component and 100% on the other is a pretty even match.

gotcha,ty bc,youre prolly right
