Two way 980ti can definitely bottleneck 4690k at stock at 1080p.

With oc much less likely and at anything over it rofl no.

3+ way actually really stresses cpu operations regardless of frequency due to the massively increased work it has to do just to process requests.

Example. Jayztwocents moved to a 5960x from a 5820k (both overclocked quite a bit) because 3 way was a cpu bottleneck, and indeed he claims for him it still is as he gets notable pref boosts by going above what he considers his comfortable cpu clock/voltages. And that's with a freaking 8 core monster overclocked to well over 4 GHz.

But for two way, 4790k is the lowest I would recommend unless doing higher than 4k then who gives a fuck what cpu you use (again until 3 way...)

I've not had any Gaming problems whatsoever with mine,.. @ stock clocks,..both 1080p/1440p

 

Full 95-100% GPU usage across the board in 99% of games.

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