Will new gpus be bottlenecked by current cpus?
For instance, I have an i5 4570, perhaps it will bottleneck the new RX 480 if its performance is as good as a GTX 980, as the rumors have said.
My phenom ii x3 doesnt bottleneck my 980 ti neither on gpu-based scenarios or things that need both cpu and gpu
I only notice problems in games that rely a lot on the cpu

That i5 is adequate up to probably 1 1080 in most games. DX12 will remedy this anyhow.
>>54953247
what about 1080p? will it change if it's at lower resolutions?
>>54953316
Only if you scale down graphics settings to the point where the CPU becomes a bottleneck in achieving higher fps because it can't run the game engine any faster.

My i5 2570k handles SLI 1080 Founders Edition just fine.
Is there an objective way to tell if your CPU is bottlenecking your GPU?
>>54954187
Overclocked? at what resolution? refresh rate?
>>54954196
If gpu is not at 100% of usage and cpu is during a bechmark or while playing games.
>>54953161
It depends on how many threads the game uses. If the game is designed to scale across many threads then even CPUs from six years ago may perform extremely well.
Assuming you are talking about games, because that's pretty much the only scenario you see GPU bottlenecks that anyone on here will care about.
>>54954196
If changing video settings has pretty much no impact on framerate (e.g. highest and lowest settings both are around 30fps)

Running at 4ghz on air cooling. 4k. 60hz. CPU bottleneck is a meme that hasn't happened in a long time.
>>54954163
In a gpu bound title it wouldn't.
>>54953161
"Bottlenecked" while doing what?
Without a definition of the workload, it is impossible to answer your question.
>>54954357
gaming at 1080p, 1444p 60 hz

You have to be 18 or older to post on this site anon.

Anon, even these good CPUs bottleneck the shit out of a 970.
