Razer Blade/Core Cpu bottleneck?

[Ethan_27]

So I was looking at getting the 2016 Razer Blade which has a 2.6-GHz Intel Core-i7-6700HQ that boost to 3.5 GHz. I was wondering how it would work along side a 980 ti or 1070. Would the Cpu bottleneck it?

It would work, I doubt you'd get a bottleneck. I'm assuming your going to use the external GPU dock right?

That's the plan, would the 40 gb/s be a factor, I've heard the cards only need about 30, or does the new architecture change that?

Pascal just got released, so were not sure still on how much bandwidth it can consume. I suggest checking on the GTX 1000 series megathread to see the latest updates (link in my sig).
