Looking at BF4 beta, the minimums are way below 60 on even 780 SLI at 1080p, so no, BF4 will not always stay above 60.

Crysis 3 will not, Tomb Raider will not, the same for a lot of games actually.

That said, there is pretty much no CPU that can achieve this at the moment.

The point wasn't that a 2500k isn't good enough, the point is, all CPU's bottleneck games from time to time. Some games more than others.

Have fun with this.

These people don't listen to reason, don't even bother.

They invested big money into their high end GPU setups and won't let reality stop them from being right.
