Unlikely it will be bottlenecked by an overclocked i7 4790k.

Perhaps some rare CPU-heavy games might see a slight drop in FPS but I doubt it will be noticeable.

You've made two questions though only provided a single yes/no answer :/

 

Any ways can you also specify your display settings?

I think the question is "Would I run into a bottleneck if I replaced my 970 with a 2080 super". 

I think he knows it's technically possible to change out his 970 for a 2080

it depends on the resolution, settings and frame rate you want to play at. If you have a 4k 60hz monitor there will be no cpu bottleneck whatsoever. If you have a 1080p 144hz monitor then yes, there will be some bottlenecking. That doesn't mean you can't upgrade to a 2080 or that you won't notice a difference compared to your 970.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨
