Try getting a couple more powerful GPU's and you'll see the bottleneck

- the argument isn't that they are bottlenecking mid range gpus, but that they are bottlenecking high end gpu's (i.e. 6970's in CF, 570's in SLI, etc)

Your gpu Usage is not 100% all the time while gaming, so in theory it is Bottlenecking

on most games, they wont. its only on cpu heavy games such as sc2 where intel chips pull ahead. in most games there is no difference. in fact, since bf3 can use more then 4 cores the 8150 is actually faster then the 2500k

hahahahahah

Not 100% GPU usage must be bottle neck.

Even funnier who gives a rat's *, eventually one day you will all grow up and just be happy to play your games or run your programs.
