Where or am I bottlenecked?

Hey All!

I just watched the L.T.T. about bottlenecking and it got me wondering if I'm bottlenecked. 

I built this PC back in 2k12/2k13 and have only upgraded RAM, GPUs and added a SSD over the years. 

I'm running:

i5-3570k OC@4.1

PNY 960

EVGA 660

16 GB RAM

630W PSU

126 GB SSD

1 TB HHD

Thanks for the responses in advanced.

How are you running 2 different GPUs? 

 

I'd say you're fine. Your CPU can definitely keep up with the 960. If you want to improve performance in games buy a nicer GPU. 

 

That said, it really, REALLY depends on the game you're playing and how well it's optimized.

I bought the 960 off an old roomie to replace the 660. I searched around a bit and found out I can use both but not for combined GPU power. The 660 sits around as a dedicated PhysicX GPU which is only used when Borderlands 2 is running.

That's an interesting setup. :)
