A gas turbine engine has a fan section, a gear arrangement configured to drive the fan section, a compressor section, including both a low pressure compressor section and a high pressure compressor section. A turbine section is configured to drive the compressor section and the gear arrangement. An overall pressure ratio provided by the combination of a pressure ratio across the low pressure compressor section and a pressure ratio across the high pressure compressor section is greater than about 35. The pressure ratio across a first of the low and high pressure compressor sections is between about 3 and about 8. The pressure ratio across a second of the low and high pressure compressor sections is between about 7 and about 15. The fan is configured to deliver a portion of air into the compressor section, and a portion of air into a bypass duct.
