Rtx 2060 + i7 980x @4ghz = bottleneck?

I did a quick run at 4k (filmed and printed it).

Great performance boost with DLSS in SOTTR (4K resolution):

Noice! And did you try pushing the CPU clocks a bit higher? Should be able to hit 4.2Ghz easily, most 32nm X58 chips will do 4.5Ghz with a bit of tweaking.

Yes, i'm running it at 4.32ghz 1.352v stable. Since i'm now upgrading from 1080p to 4k monitor the cpu will not be the bottleneck for games at all.

It'll likely still bottleneck in stuff like Assassin's Creed Odyssey that slaughters the CPU, but for most games it should be fine.

Yes, and i can say that 980x does little bottleneck at 1080p (65% gpu bound), but rock solid performance in SOTTR, 87fps constant maxout settings and 2xmsaa.

I also did some tests, take a look.

 

Edit. I forgot to take a print of SOTTR running at 4k with almost same specs. At 4k it is 100% gpu bound, same settings getting 34fps.

That is a good boost from AVG. 49 FPS to AVG 87 FPS and if the CPU keeps those FPS stable, that shut give you a much better gaming exsperience and a little longer life span for your X58 rig. But next time you upgrade GPU, it is new CPU as well.

 

I just ran unigine superposition bench my self to a comparison.
