menko2 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Hi.I just bought a 980M for my P170EM. I read that the cpu will bottleneck more the GPU when gaming at 1080P than a 1440P?My cpu is the 3740QM.Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AziraphaleUK Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Got the same cpu in a P370EM with 980m and can't say I've noticed any bottlenecks cpu wise. Biggest bottleneck I had was with the old mechanical harddrive .Every game I've run has been perfectly fine in the cpu department Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
octiceps Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 You'll be fine, plus you can OC by +400 MHz to 3.9 GHz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
