3570k+Gtx970=bottleneck?

[Dirk Diggler]

I'm going to strip down my gaming rig for a wee footer about with, and I intend to slot my 970 into my spare rig. It's an i5 3570k on an Asus p8z77-v lx, powered by SuperFlower 750W.

Everything will run at stock. Will the 970 be bottlenecked?

might be at stock cpu clocks,but not much tbh

you should oc the cpu its free

Nope doubt there will be any bottleneck.

It's in a HTPC case, with a basic heatsink. I think I'd rather run the risk of bottlenecking! I really need to get a decent air cooler on the CPU because you're right, it's free... But I use it as a media server mainly so it hardly seems worth the effort.

Nope doubt there will be any bottleneck.

Hope this is the case. I'll pop it in and see how it goes.

Cheers.

if you play games like WoW it might bottleneck. my i7 2600 is a bottle neck on my 770. gave it a slight OC after getting 970 and it was fine last time i played.

My 970 is fine with my 3570k, although I'm running at 4.5ghz

stick turbo on should be fine (3.8)

Cant see it being too much of an issue tbh. Ive ran the system in sig at stock and cant notice an awful difference compared to my oc profile of 4.7ghz.

Nope.

If it was a bottleneck then so would my 3570k and 780. For 99% of games it will be fine.

I run my 3570k at stock with my 970. Dont feel like my cpu is a bottleneck. Performance is great.

I run a 2500k @ 5ghz, no bottlenecks at all with two 7950's overclocked which outperform even a 980 and I suffer no bottlenecks, but if I run my 2500k at stock I get a 1-3% bottleneck on my 7950's.
So with that in mind that's two cards, one 970 will be absolutely fine even on a 3570k at stock with no bottlenecks as its one single card and not as fast as two 7950s which I run.
