[SOLVED] A possible bottleneck

[Vagician]

I just upgraded my gtx 960 to a 1070ti and I'm noticing some stuttering in my games and I was wondering if I have a CPU bottleneck. My cpu is a i5-7600k

List your full pc specs including make and model of your PSU.

It is a fairly balanced setup. However stuttering isn't a factor of a bottleneck. I had stuttering and fixed it by setting Max Ram to 3200mhz as it was locked to 2333mhz. It could be bad drivers, bad video setting combination, monitor etc. List all your specs and I can help you fix it

Apparently it's a cheap 600w power supply. (it's a pre-built)

Depends on the game but many modern games will completely saturate a quad core and can cause performance which feels like stuttering. Quad core/thread CPU’s are barely entry level for modern AAA games with hex being a more suitable minimum.

I’m assuming you are running 1080p?

Yeah, My plan is to do 1080p ultra 60fps but i'm getting bad stutter in games like Final Fantasy XV, The Division 2 and The Outer Worlds. But games like Wolfenstein 2 and Rainbow Six Siege runs perfect and max settings.

I say you have an issue of not enough cores/threads. What kind of budget do you have, for upgrades?

Not that much because I just upgraded my gpu I didn't think I would need to upgrade my CPU but if I do I wanna do a ryzen upgrade

Well, first thing would be a quality power supply, before you lose your hardware to that cheap prebuild's psu.

The only thing i'm confused about is cpu benchmark says my current i5-7600k is better than the Ryzen 5.

If you mean cpu benchmark, like userbencmark, that site is trash. Older, lower threaded titles, yes, the 7600k is going to be better. In modern titles, pure quad core gaming is dead. Even the original R5 1600, is better, in such titles. The 1600AF is nearly the same as an R5 2600. These games want more cores/threads, than a 7600k can provide. As a side note, did you run ddu, to uninstall your Nvidia drivers, and install the latest, for you current card?

Yeah it seemed to fix it but I still get stutters in my games. I only get them when I'm loading a new area and it seems to stop after that

Are you running off an SSD or HDD?

An HHD.

Edit: I fixed my stuttering by turning on xmp in my bios thank you for all the help you guys gave me.
