Will i7 4790k(4gz) bottleneck 2 GTX 1080 in SLI

Newer cpus, from like 2011 and up shouldnt bottleneck a gpu.

 

Especially not a 4790k.

Compared to a 6700k?  Slightly.  The more you overclock it the more it goes away.  You should be able to run at crazy speeds but with a 6700K you could run at crazy speed +10.  Either way...

 

 

What's the matter, Colonel Sanders?  Chicken?

Slightly but it massively depends on the game,settings and resolution

[Logarithm]

A 1080p, probably. At higher resolutions, no.

There is no conclusive evidence that I've seen that a 4790k doesn't bottleneck a single 1080. In many titles, the more powerful the CPU, the more frames you will get. 

 

The 4790k is still one of the better CPU's on the market.

I feel like even a 6700k would still bottleneck dual 1080s. It depends on the resolution though. 1080p, certainly yes, CPU will bottleneck. 4k, probably not.

gtx 1080 will handle most of the video processes. that's usually the perks of the new gpu's with them being so beefy in specs a days. so youll get waaaay less stress on the cpu and ram. you should be able to get 60fps 4k on most of the new games (like tombraider) you maybe need to overclock your cpu a little thought but you should be prime.

At 1080P, there will be bottlenecking for sure.
