Massively. It is near impossible for a 4790k to bottleneck any current GPU config tho.

You really need to upgrade your graphics card.

No because bottleneck will mean that its holding back some component and your gpu will not slow your cpu down tho in some cases it will

You would think Ubisoft would support the Bulldozer based architectures more given their digging themed names like bulldozer, Piledriver, Steamroller and Excavator.

I was agreeing with your entire post until that last bit..

Pretty sure it wont at all in any situation.

Upgrading a CPU to a more powerful one won't make the GPU slow the new CPU down.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

Yes, you have a High end processor and a medium end graphics card. I would recommend a GTX 770, GTX 970 or a GTX 980
