Hi all, I was wondering whether i7 3930K with Rampage IV Extreme will bottleneck GTX 1080? If it does bottleneck, I want to buy Maximus VIII Extreme with i7 6700K. Any advice before I do my upgrade? thanks

Hi micketkeong

I wouldn't say the 3930k will bottleneck the gtx 1080 but the 6700k would be faster. 🙂

BRO Ive been wanting to ask the same exact thing.. i mean i dont care but my 3930K at 4.7ghz is a beast atm.. but my 780 is starting to show its age. not only that but i hit 100% cpu usage on Rainbow six

Will i7 3930K bottleneck GTX 1080?
