is there a bottleneck?

[KiiYzOo]

I just did a 3dmark vantage run with my system and decided to compare it to other systems and found a couple of benches that have the same cpu as me but with a more powerful gpu, and a more powerful cpu and same gpu, and they both have very different scores from me, so I was wondering whether there was a bottleneck in my system?

here is my score (I also just realised that my cpu isn't overclocked but I'm not sure how much of a difference that will make)

i3 540 & gtx580

i5 2500k & gtx460

is there a bottleneck??

any ideas guys?

no cpu overclock and others have better gpus and your wondering why they have better scores?? lol...come on really?

you seriously trolling or something? really?

no I'm not actually, as I didn't think that an overclock made such a huge difference as in the i3 540 & 580 the cpu is overclocked to 4.4ghz and is getting scores as high as a 4ghz i5 2500k and also the i5 & 460 has a gpu score of 24000, but my scores are 13000 and 8500 so there must be a bottleneck, but it must be the fact that my cpu is not overclocked, but an increase of around 44000 just from an increase of 1.4ghz, really??

You cant compare an i3 to an i5 that's like comparing chalk and cheese.

1.4ghz is a massive overclock of course it will make a difference to scores, same as gpu and even ram.

its got nothing to do with bottlenecks - simply put people have better systems then you for one reason or another , and their scores reflect that.
