no and no
The best way to test for a bottleneck is to reduce graphics settings, if fps gets higher, there is no cpu bottleneck. If it stays the same, then the cpu is the limiting factor. Doesn't always mean your cpu is terrible though, it could just be that the game is more cpu dependent.

you could also list your cpu and gpu and we could tell you

according to le google+guessing, there's no way you are ever bottlenecking those cards, and especially not at that res or settings. since your're maxing out everything, i'd guess you wouldn't even bottleneck two 7970s a lot (or at all?), especially not with that overclock either

I have two 7970's and an i7 920 @ 4GHZ.
If I reduce all the settings in BF3 I don't gain any FPS in a 64 player map.
I believe my 920 is holding my 7970's back only in this game.
If I overclock my 920 to 4.2 then I gain a few fps.
So what CPU will lift this bottleneck?

sisosft sandra will sort of tell you the mix of the components on its benchmark setting and how they compare to others and if they are in synergy with your other components
not sure if that is what you mean but thats all i can think of that is along those lines
