I have my GTX 970 FTW Edition, but I think my i7-2600K is barley holding back or a little of my GPU my 3DMark fire Strike Extreme Benchmarks 5053 Stock http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/4819672?
5379 OC http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/4819619? (I haven't reach the limit on the GPU yet but I stopped at +105 for Core offset and +220 for the memory offset) also what do you think?

A very very slight bottleneck. Nothing to worry about TBH.

How can you tell if it is a bottleneck? I have a 2700k @ 4.8GHz and a SSC 970. I was thinking about adding a second 970 and going SLI. If there is truly a bottleneck with one 970, I would not get much benefit from a second. From the benchmarks I have seen, this is not the case.

OP's score is about 300 lower than eTeknix's 4770k test bench @ 4.4Ghz. Did you by chance have shadowplay enabled?

Couldn't that be caused by many things? I have a hard time believing an overclocked 2600k/2700k is bottlenecking this card. I have seen a lot of people with 4770k or better that score lower than me with my 2700k. Here are just some I have seen posted on other forums... 4790k @ 4.4GHz and 970 @ 1520/1950 http://www.3dmark.com/fs/3295256 4770K @ 4.8GHz http://www.3dmark.com/fs/3110471 Mine for reference: http://www.3dmark.com/fs/3212574

It could be as simple as a background program taking resources? Or as simple as the 4770k just performes slightly better in that test. But a 300 difference is negligible imo.

That's exactly my point, there's got to be something running detracting from the GPU.

Gotcha. Sorry. I thought you were agreeing that his OCed 2600k was bottle necking the card.

I think it's the motherboard that causing the bottleneck (the intel DZ77RE-75K $260 value motherboard I won for free) and I can't overclock as much compared to my MSI Z68-GD80-G3 and also my scores was a little higher on my 3DMark vantage benchmark on my MSI MB, I might switch back to my other motherboard next month to see if it makes a difference

Wow, that seems like a lot of work to (maybe) realize a 300 point increase. No? Also I think we need to define "bottleneck" here. Are you saying your motherboard isn't capable of processing all the data your GPU is throwing through it?

yeah and I tried overclocking the cpu manually to 4.6GHz but it only goes at 3.4GHz unless I have turbo mode on

I would go back to your other motherboard. Intel boards are not usually known to be geared towards enthusiasts. Their reputation is for reliability, not performance.
