    gtx980 and A10-7870k

    So i recently bought a new system, and I'm worried that my Gtx980 isn't performing as well as it could be, possibly because of my cpu. I assumed that a quad-core at 3.9ghz would be enough to not limit the card, but again, im unsure. FYI i have turned off the built in gpu's on the A10. Thanks
