Most graphics cards dont get "bottlenecked" by CPUs, unless its a game known to be CPU intensive.
A well-clocking 2500k should be fine.
Tom Are you going to update the 780 reviews to show more of a comparison to the 680? Theres only a few games where you've tested both, as far as I can see. Bioshock Infinite, for example, you've compared it to a 650 ti >_<

Last question for me, then I'll be quiet for the rest of the night 
I have another math test tommorow, can you wish me good luck? And will you?

I have an old i7 950 Rig. Now that we're onto yet another new generation, do you expect a 780 to start bottlenecking CPU's like this?
EDIT: You appear to be having fantastic weather over there too. Lucky lad.

New poster, Advice please!
Hi Tom, great work, long time lurker
Currently on a 2600k @4.5, and a 7950 msi twin frozr.
Been looking to switch back over to team green for a while from a few driver issues on AMD. What would you suggest for a quick, easily solution?
680?
wait for the 770?
dual 670s?
Budget is about £500 tops, so two 670s would be really pushing it, I know you probably get a lot of questions about this, but I'd appreciate advice
Thanks! Keep it up!
PSU and Mobo aren't an issue btw

first off, i really enjoy your yt channel the videos are very informative. But to the point, two questions: do we know anything about the 760ti's release date/pricing. Also like you said it would be nice to see a little bit of a price war between amd and nvidia with the new gen gpu's, earlier this year I heard amd would be releasing their new gen late this year, is this still true?
edit: sorry if you had already addressed this question. I joined in the live stream kind of late, just finished up my final and ran to the library lol.

Hey Tom, I'm probably asking a question that should be rather obvious but at the moment I'm still rocking Crossfire HD5870. They're still fast in my opinion but I've recently upgraded from 1920x1200 to 5760x1200 and the 1gb is getting extremely tight. Would selling my 2 HD5870's and buying a GTX780 be a viable choice?
I'm a student without income so if I get shit for the HD5870's it's going to be a tight squeeze budget-wise. Would it still be worth it or should I wait for AMD their response? Especially for 'future-proofing' with the high resolution.
Other specs:
- CPU: 3770k @ 4.2Ghz
- GPU: 2x HD5870(like you already know)
- RAM: 16gb G.Skill @1600Mhz CL9
- Motherboard: MSI Z77 mPower
- PSU: XFX 750W Pro
Edit: I did watch the review (without skipping, cookie -> tea -> everything), so don't shoot me down :3

I did some benchmarks on haven full settings on 1920x1080 with a radeon 7850 and a i7 3770 (not the k) and it did okay at about 19.1 fps then my friend did the same benchmark with the same card but using a i3 2100 and got 21.9 fps. Do you know a reason for this?

Live Review Question
If I want to play crysis 3 at 30-60 fps at high settings what would be the best gpu for me?

I'm looking to build a new rig for gaming. I was thinking about building it around the 780. Do you have any recommendations for the rest of the spec, the budget is 2500€ or 2100£.

Hello Tom. Enjoying live feed. I currently have 2 2Gb gtx 670's in SLi running with a core i7 930 Oc to just 4Ghz. Should I upgrade my GPU's to 2 gtx 780's or should I upgrade my CPU? I game at 2560x1440 I should have added I would change the board also.
