How bad would a q6700 bottleneck a 750ti?

Hello, I have a Q6700 Proccesor and i am wanting to get a 750ti but i dont know how bad or if it will bottleneck it. Any help is greatly appreciated! 😀

Well I have a 9400 overclocked @3.6ghz with a gtx 650 and it is not bottlenecking it that much (getting pretty similar results to tests with normal CPUs). And since the 6700 is pretty close/same to the 9400 and the 750ti is a bit more powerful, I'd say you should get 80-90% of the GPUs capability.

Thanks man you were very helpful!

Well i have Q8400 @ 3.2 Ghz paired with HD7850 and in almost every of the current games CPU is a big factor. If you start some game that relies on single core performance you are doomed, if you start well optimized for multithreading it will be fine but still far from perfect. In GTA 5 i had to cut all possible graphical options so CPU could handle stable >40fps, despite GPU is hardly pushed at 50% of usage.
I'm not sure tho how nVidia cards works with older CPU, it's known that their drivers put a bit less overhead than AMD's.
From my perspective GTX750TI, GTX 950, HD7850 should be max for C2Quads anything beyond might not be properly utilized and that would be a waste.

The 750 Ti probably averages around 2x the performance of the 650, and much more than that in compute workloads, so your conclusion may not be entirely accurate. If you're already partially bottlenecking a GTX 650 with a Q9400 @ 3.6GHz, which would honestly surprise me if true, a Q6700 would likely be a significant bottleneck for a 750 Ti.
