Wow talk about tower of Babylon.
Each poster here is using a different meaning to the word bottleneck.

If you take OP's question literally – of course the GPU can't bottleneck the CPU, since it's not dependent on it for normal operation. You can run any CPU intensive task even with the iGPU and nothing will be affected.

But, a bottleneck is defined as a part or parts that limit the system as a whole, i.e. limit the performance of the entire system. And since this is a hardware section of a gaming website I assume the OP is gaming with his computer. In that regard, the GPU is a bottleneck for the entire system, since everything else has to wait for it. It is the weakest part the computer.
Games don't run at 60FPS because the GPU can't process data fast enough, in the meantime the CPU is not utilized 100% (less than optimal for performance).

Saying that the GPU is not a bottleneck to the CPU because the CPU can do other things is oversimplification of the term. One could argue that the GPU is not a bottleneck for the computer since it can run Prime95 without problems (the GPU will not affect the speed of the calculations). You need to look at the performance of all the parts for a specific scenario and not generally.

When asked if a part is a bottleneck, the said part has to be utilized to check if it a bottleneck.
It's like arguing that a HD4850 is not a bottleneck for copying files from drive c to drive d.
Of course not, since it has nothing to do with it.
To check for a bottleneck you need a scenario where both parts are needed, and see which part limit the performance of the entire system. In games at normal resolutions, generally the GPU will limit the performance.

after more than 65 hours with the game i must say no - it not better than morrowing overall.

1. menu system - horrible and not optimized for PC at all.

2. very simple and linear quest lines (i guess since they put so much content in the game they had to cut on quest complexity)

3. the game is much more simple (three types of magic damage, three types of melee damage)

4. you are playing a glorified delivery boy that kills anything that stand in his path.

The game feels very very shallow to me - everything is very simple, most quests are basically the same action over and over.

The biggest problem is that all this also affects the quality of the story (both main quest and side quests) - it feels like a one line story.

awesome game despite the bugs (both the game itself and battlelog).

having a blast playing with my friends.

funny thing is people were defending him in the comments saying that it was a console-gamer building his first PC.
it really seems the guy has no clue about PC hardware - most rational people would do some research before jumping into new and unknown territory.
did he choose the parts based on how pretty the box art was maybe?

bulldozer was also supposed to be ready in May and look what happened now. It released in October and as a major dissapointment. I wouldn't trust anything AMD or any of their sources actually say until the thing actually releases.

I don't think there is a single game that can max your current CPU.
Out of curiosity, an HD5870 crossfire is not enough for you?

You don't need to turn off DHCP, you can reserve an internal IP for each MAC address in your router (every network card has a unique MAC address).

This way you don't lose any port forwarding and you don't need to configure each machine with the IP settings.

So they basically said that the reason many people are complaining about performance is because they have old computers and they try to run the game on ultra. sounds reasonable to me.

its funny that what they are doing is lowering the detail for all the players, because everyone are so stubborn and don't agree to lower detail by themselves.
