Does i3 7100 bottleneck GTX 1070 SC

Does it? How much?

At 4k or 1440p high settings, probably not. At 1080p, depends highly on the game but most of the time it will. You can't ask how much without specifying a game and settings, it's just meaningless. That said, a GTX 1060 6GB is probably the fastest card I'd consider pairing with that processor.

If I upgrade to i5 7th gen will it unlock my gpu’s full potential?

Like in Hitman 2016 at 1080p max settings the fps stay between 40-50 but in 900p its locked at 60fps. So is there any way to increase the fps at 1080p?
