i5 2500k bottleneck a gtx 690?

No, no no the CPU is quad. Games dont properly even use 4 cores. The 690 is not a bottleneck, end of story.

if you had a 2 core then yes that would be a problem. Gosh your fine 2500k equiv in AMD which someone else can help you with.

I have a i5 2500k at stock since I don't have a cooler yet and I've never noticed a bottleneck back when I did have a discrete card. To say that the 2500k is old is pretty unreasonable when the 3570k is pretty much just the same thing only Ivy version.

In the process of upgrading my displays, will be either going with two Samsung 27" 120hz screens, but I also have access to a Catleap 27" 1440P monitor that will do 100hz+.

I have an 2500k at 4.6ghz....will that in any way be a bottle neck in the above situations (1090p x 1, x 2 or 1440p)? And if so, what an ivy with slightly better ipc and the slight benefit of PCIE 3.0 be enough to reach its full potential? thanks.

doesnt the 690 have onboard pcie3.0 anyway for the 2 gpus to communicate?
