I think you misunderstand the meaning of being CPU bottlenecked. Increasing resolution leads to being more GPU limited, and lowering it leads to being more CPU limited generally speaking.
The GTX 780 is CPU limited @ 1080p in the Civ 5 benchmark because it's MAXING IT OUT. Basically, the frame rate can't go any higher. Increasing the resolution to 1440p makes it GPU limited again.
I think I posted the wrong graph initially. I should have posted the 1080p graph from the get go..
You mean that CiV5 is capped at 138 fps?

Might be close but not right there.
