I have an Intel i7 3770 and recently bought a GTX 1070. While adjusting my GPU overclock settings, I started thinking about whether my GPU's base speeds or my CPU limits might be restricting performance. Could this happen?

In certain CPU-heavy titles, performance can be constrained by the processor, yet most games still allow the GPU to handle the workload effectively.
