The GHz myth was busted. I won't go over that but as we got more cores, and games took advantage of that, it was enough.
As to bottleneck the old i5-2500 could drive 3 GPUs. You will be driving one.
I have a 2.2 GHz 32 Core CPU (Dual Socket)
And I am looking to buy a GTX1080 Ti I currently having a GTX1060 So I want to ask if the 2.2 GHz factor will be a bottleneck or not
If it is I might go for a new cpu
