do motherboards bottleneck ( gpu/cpu )

[mathew1993]

hello guys !
i have a question in my mind , might find some answers here ( hope so )
do motherboard board bottleneck gpu or cpu
i mean if we pair an old motherboard with a powerful cpu or gpu , does that affect gpu/cpu performance ? i am guessing yes , but how much ? is it way much ? or 2>>5 fps ?
though am not talking about overclocking gpu, cpu , just in general

one side note : i know pci E 2.0 works fine with pci E 3.0
am just asking in general

CPU's and GPU's bottleneck each other.

No bottlenecks\
But you must make sure the newer cpu works with the old mobo
It should say on the manufacturer's webpage or manual guide etc

the problem here is in most cases you can't plug nice new cpu-s in the old motherboard even if the pci ex is backwards and forward compatible - because the sockets keep changing.

the speed difference is minimal when using 2.0 vs 3.0 pci ex.

that sound interesting , " because the sockets keep changing. " what do you mean exactly ? i mean even if motherboard support cpu ,the cpu still might not work ?

 

[laviniuc]

i mean intel for example changed 3 sockets in the last 6 years i think it was? (1156, 1155, 1150) and that's counting just the normal desktop socket. sure, if the support list says it's compatible then it's definitely the same socket.

No speed difference in PCIE lane speeds.

oh yeah , got it sorry bro my mistake
though my mobo says it support i7-4690 . if i update my bios , which i did
but i am worried if my mobo would bottelneck this cpu , because its not that great h81-plus (asus)
which made me ask about motherboards etc ..
so i am guessing it would work fine

 

[laviniuc]

should work just fine, no worries

thanks alot , i love this damn article , it contains a lot of useful information about pcie , though it seems there's 1 to 2 fps , diffrence between thoso two motherbaords : , hope mine wont give me troubles when paring it with gtx 970 , stupid useless h81 , it only comes with cool gold color , but who cares ? , its not like i keep opening my case : D

best answer selected by SR-71 Blackbird , and thanks for replay guys !
( though this thread is only to gather information , but since there was alot of useful information , it need solve mark on it )

Hey,

It's a non-issue. If you had the BEST 1150 compatible motherboard you'd get within 2% generally of what you get with this motherboard.

As suggested, you'll generally be either bottlenecked by the GPU or CPU (or artificially such as 60FPS with VSYNC ON to cap frame rate). It would mostly be the GPU with this setup (i5-4590 + GTX970).

Not sure why PCIe v2 vs PCIe v3 is even being discussed either since the board is the newer PCIe v3 anyway.

thanks for replay mate , well 2% is nothing to talk about which is great
well my setup now is i5-4440 and gt 630 , gonna buy me some gtx 970 asus strix lol
so i was hoping i won't get bottleneck by i5-4440 , if i did i might sell it and buy an i7-4690 (315 dollar ) or i5-4590 ( i guss it cost something like 219 dollar where i live )
and if you were talking about my mobo , no it doesn't support pcie 3 , unfortunately :

1 x PCIe x16 (x16 mode, yellow)
2 x PCIe 2.0 x1
3 x PCI
and it support up to 1600 ram , as anything up 1600 will work the same as 1600
