Would a i7-2600K bottleneck a GTX 1080? I haven't overclocked my CPU but I do have Noctua D15 and would be open to it if it would gain me significant (>15%) performance.

What are you gonna play?

Depends on what you're doing with it.
Mining cryptocoins?
AI research?

I do some OpenGL development and run some graphic demos.

Here's a good overview. Seems like it mostly depends on the game, secondly on your GPU brand.

Then tune your program to not waste as many CPU cycles, and multi-thread it.

It's not easy to multithread OpenGL.

Upgrade to Vulkan

Thanks. That's what I was looking for. Seems it won't make much difference.
