Is my CPU bottlenecking my GPU?

[Arterion]

Hi all,

I recently got a 1080Ti Strix OC, which I've put in a PC with a 6600K (stock) and 16GB RAM.

Am I likely to be experiencing any bottlenecking with this configuration? It occurred to me that the CPU isn't as high-end as the new card, and I wanted to make sure I'm getting the best of it.

Many thanks!

What resolution do you play at?

4K.

Wow, this kind of blew up! Thank you very much for all the insight, I really appreciate sharing your knowledge and taking the time to post your thoughts.

I think I'll go ahead and overclock my CPU a bit, and see what effect that has, if any.

As a few people have mentioned about some games behaving differently, most of my time since getting the 1080Ti has been spent playing Destiny 2, a bit of Vermintide, I'll likely pick up CoD WW2.
