With GTX590, gives you an idea.

both cpus bottleneck that 590, still judging by the clock difference gives you a pretty good idea :)

well define bottle neck

and if it plays all your games fine

then does it matter ?

i don't think the upgrade of cpu will make you see a huge difference :/

If you're looking for raw fps then yeah, your CPU does bottleneck the 570, but if all you need is for the fps to stay above 50 or so, don't worry.
