Would a Xeon E3-1220 Bottleneck a 980 Ti?

So right now I have a 1060 but have the ability to get a 980 Ti but didn't know if my CPU would be the bottleneck. My CPU doesn't bottleneck my current GPU at all really well unless I'm playing GTA 5 but that's just GTA 5 but I didn't know if that would still be the case with a 980 Ti.

CPU: Ryzen 5 5600H GPU: RTX 3050 RAM: 32GB DDR4 Storage: 512GB + 4TB SSD

 

MSI Modern 14

CPU: i7-10510U GPU: Nvidia MX 330 RAM: 16GB DDR4 Storage: 1TB SSD

it wouldn't bottleneck it in several cases I would imagine the E3 1220 isn't a slow CPU, that being said in more CPU bound games yes it probably would, so depends but on the whole probably not.

The owner of "too many" computers, called

The Lord of all Toasters (1920X 1080ti 32GB)

The Toasted Controller (i5 4670, R9 380, 24GB)

The Semi Portable Toastie machine (i7 3612QM (was an i3) intel HD 4000 16GB)'

Bread and Butter Pudding (i7 7700HQ, 1050ti, 16GB)

Pinoutbutter Sandwhich (raspberry pi 3 B)

The Portable Slice of Bread (N270, HAHAHA, 2GB)

Muffinator (C2D E6600, Geforce 8400, 6GB, 8X2TB HDD)

Toastbuster (WIP, should be cool)

loaf and let dough (A printer that doesn't print black ink)

The Cheese Toastie (C2D (of some sort), GTX 760, 3GB, win XP gaming machine)

The Toaster (C2D, intel HD, 4GB, 2X1TB NAS)

Matter of Loaf and death (some old shitty AMD laptop)

windybread (4X E5470, intel HD, 32GB ECC) (use coming soon, maybe)

And more, several more

Awesome thank you, yeah the E3-1220 is around the performance of a sandybridge i5.

aye, it shouldn't do in many cases. If you can though a better CPU would be handy I would think

Thank you, I will probably replace it with an i7 from that gen at some point. Thanks for the help.
