Hi all, I was wondering whether i7 3930K with Rampage IV Extreme will bottleneck GTX 1080? If it does bottleneck, I want to buy Maximus VIII Extreme with i7 6700K. Any advice before I do my upgrade? thanks

Hi micketkeong

I wouldn't say the 3930k will bottleneck the gtx 1080 but the 6700k would be faster. 🙂
