The CPU being overclockable is almost certainly a maybe, only a few Xeons are unlocked, but some older ones can be baseclock overclocked on older platforms, we'll need the processor code to know for sure. 

Yours faithfully

Some LGA1366 Xeons are overclockable; the X56xx line I think.

I don't believe there has been an overclockable Xeon since, with the exception of the W-3175x. Though some people clam that they've overclocked E5-16xx on certain motherboards.

I got two 8-core Xeon e5-2690v2 CPUs in my machine, base 3gHz and turbo to 3.8. Some are limited to their FACTORY TURBO FREQUENCIES while some are not, depending on model and motherboard you're using.

what gpu are you using? is gtx 1660 super, a good gpu for intel xeon?

I'm using a 6800XT. It doesn't get bottlenecked at all.

Probably does not bottlneck at all cores but most probably bottleneck at single core? what are your core usages? Xreon is pretty bad for gaming since they have pretty bad single core performance. 

QUOTE ME  FOR ANSWER.

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

Mine has good single core performance, and watching core usage, there seem to be no bottlenecks while gaming, even on demanding and CPU heavy games like MFS2020. The main purpose of my machine is for CAD and I mainly do gaming on the side, but in the few games I have tested it has good single core performance because it can reach around 3.8gHz per core, and it's hyperthreaded.

What resolution are you using? That's the most important thing, when talking about bottlenecking

Ok then, that's the reason for your no bottlenecking situation
