Hi there!
Before the GPU upgrade I could spawn the max number of bots (8+9) in MW2 and Black Ops 1 offline multiplayer without any perfomance issue. After the upgrade I can spawn only 6+5 without issues. If I spawn max number of bots, the game stutters and lags as hell (because the more AI I guess). There are also freezes for some secs in BO, making the game unplayable. Without bots they run well. In BO the GPU usage is around 40%, while CPU usage 97-100% while using bots. I have a very bad bottleneck for sure. Other games run better with the new GPU except these two.
So, can a CPU bottleneck cause worse perfomance after GPU upgrade?
CPU:intel pentium dual core E5300
Old GPU:Nvidia 9400 GT 1GB
New GPU: Nvidia GT 730 2GB GDDR5
