intel 4790k possible bottleneck?

[threebills9909]

I havea 4790k OC'D tp 4.6 ghz,i replaced my asus gtx 980 TI with an EVGA 1080 FTW....i dont see anything bad,its runs smooth,looks great...i just wanna be sure the 4790k at 4.6 is not bottlenecking the 1080 ftw....opinions? atahsnk you,much appreciated.

I was to-ld as long as the gpu was running at 100% then here isnt a bottleneck,i ran star wars battlefront for a run,it looked great,smooth,no problems,but the gpu usage was betwen 95% to 98% i never seen 99 or 100 % is that- a problem? should i overclock he 4790 k from 4.6 to- maybe 4.7 or 4.8(whichi can do i just didnt cause i have to use a lot mroe voltage depelting the chip more),like at 4.6 im at 1.23 volts,to go to 4.7 i need 1.3 ish,and 4.8 it wants like 1.35 or so

4790k and a EVGA 1080SC here and I see no bottleneck at all unless i go looking for it in benchmarking ;)...

[threebills9909]

ya,i was just wondering hy i never saww 99 or 100 % usage -on t-eh- gpu,the game played and visuals and speed were fantastic,im just a lottle ocd.maybe ill do some benchmarking on superposition and furmark

[threebills9909]

Thank you for the help Zotty

im guessing t-hat- maybe i don see 99 or 100 5 usage cause its not -needed? only thing i can thorize,i mean i have a 4790k OC'D TO 4.6,THE EVGA 1080 FTW,my monitor is the asus pg279q....and everything looks and runs great,no teraing or any of that stuff

It all depends on the settings in your game, if you are hitting 100% with your GPU and the late 90s with the CPU then you have a pretty good combination. It could be that the game is running with vsync and the card is not being pushed to 100% because it has a limit on the number of frames it has to produce and therefore the card doesn't have to run at 100% because it can handle the work load. If you were pushing both CPU and GPU at 100% chances are you would see some stuttering in game or drops in fps as a result. As Zotty rightly pointed you, you would only really see a bottleneck in synthetic benchmarks.
