Will a i7 920 OC 4ghz bottleneck a GTX 970 SLI?

As the title says, thanks for the answers.

yeah it probably will for some games, but not for less cpu intensive games. That CPU is a bit less powerful than the i3-4160 according to some benchmarks. If it is overclocked it will probably equal the 4160. If you are spending that much on graphics cards then you may as well upgrade your CPU.

No especially if you have high resolution to play with. At 4GHz it should equal a modern I5 at 3+GHz

it may perform almost as well to an i5 but its more like an i3, which wont bottleneck in most games but it will in some more cpu intensive games.

keep in mind that 970 sli is better than a titan x

I want to wait for the end of 2016 or start 2017 to change it ... You know, new gens XD

You're forgetting the fundamentals in overclocking. Cpuboss's comparison is comparing the 920 @ 2.66GHz. @ 4GHZ however is a completely different ball game.

and the i3 beats the 920 when the 920 is not overclocked, so im saying the 920 would be a about as good as an i3 but not an i5. You could also overclock an i3.

Modern I3's are not overclockable, Although they have a better single core performance they are not quad cores like the I7 920 which will help it in CPU intensive gaming!
