Bottleneck in gtx1080 with i5 4670k

[Twazix]

Hello
My cpu usage when i play bf1 is 90-100% does that mean there is a bottleneck ? if yes How can i reduce the bottleneck without buying a new cpu because i dont have a mony right now

BF1 uses a hyperthreaded quad-core processor's cores quite effectively, delivering high framerates; be content with the high framerates, and, less time worrying over a 90% cpu utilisation. Quad core/non hyperthreaded cpus are beginning to be a bit taxed at some of the newer games, but, as long as your min/average framerates are acceptable, there is little you can do to influence this number 'lower'...

It's not very productive to think of it as a "bottleneck". Are your framerates good enough for you? If so, there's no problem. And, if your GPU utilization is lower (let's say 60-70%), instead of thinking about it as a CPU bottleneck, you can think of it as excess GPU power, so you can crank up the details with zero impact on your framerate.

I agree with Ecky. I dislike the term 'bottlenecking' as people immediately treat it as a problem, when in fact it is inevitable. Don't worry about what component is causing the limiting factor unless you aren't receiving wanted framerates.

If you aren't receiving wanted framerates, you can try tune some settings (if possible) like view distance or physics. Otherwise, you are stuck with it. As Ecky suggested, up your visual quality settings while your CPU is still the limiting factor. You will receive equal frame rates but better visual quality.
