Would an i5 750k quad at 3.4 ghz bottleneck a gtx 690?

I recently upgraded my gpu to a gtx 690, However in certain games I get some suprisingly low fps, in particular playing far cry 3 I can get as low as 30. My specs are below.

Far Cry 3 is very CPU demanding. Your CPU isn't good enough to max it out.ShadowDeathX

With GTX 680, at 1080+ there is not a huge difference between a i7 3770k vs an AMD quad core

Far Cry 3 ran just fine on my 3.7ghz Phenom II X4. It runs a bit more smoothly on my 4.5ghz 3570k, but it was perfectly enjoyable on the old CPU. A 3.4ghz 1st gen i5 quad is just fine.

[QUOTE="Nibroc420"][QUOTE="04dcarraher"] farcry 3 isnt a good example of a well coded game. Most people are lucky to get 40+ average with good cpu's and a gpu's

Thats because the CPU is being bottlenecked by the GPU at those high resolutions

[QUOTE="JigglyWiggly_"]Or if you are a reasonable person and like to play sp games at 80+ fps oh yeah cpu does mattergodzillavskong

Check cpu usage and gpu usage

i would argue the game is bottlenecking the GPU............

yay console ports.....

a 690 is a waste of money, go for a 7970 crossfire or 680 sli, both are faster and cheaper
