Hi (sorry for any confusing grammar)
I currently have an GTX 1060 6gb and I've been looking for a new graphics card. I've lookied at the GTX 1080 and the RTX 2070. Because the RTX 2070 is cheaper I decided to go with that one. A while back I asked the community if the i5 8600K is good enough to handle the RTX 2070, which the community said yes.
Thread here: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-3849527/8600k-good-rtx-2070.html
Recently I did some usage tests and benchmarks. The problem is that I don't know much about GPU and CPU usage, but I know something about bottlenecks. So what I found out in the usage test is that the CPU usage is often under the GPU usage. How does this affect if I should buy a new graphics card and what other things should I do with my system (maybe if I need to buy a new CPU)
Usage test
Battlefield 1: GPU 97% and CPU 94%(with CPU sometimes dropping down to 80%)
CoD Black Ops 4: GPU 98% and CPU 65-75%(unstable CPU usage between 55-80%)
GTA 5: GPU 60% and CPU 50%(GTA is a little unstable and has low usage overall)
Dose the RTX 2070 benefit my computer in any way? And should I buy it? Or what do you guys recommend in this situation? Maybe you can teach me a thing about usage testing
Thanks for any help!
My PC specs:
ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 6gb
8gb RAM 3200Mhz
CPU Intel Core i5-8600K
Corsair Hydro H115i pro cooler
ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-H Gaming motherboard
Samsung 970 EVO 250GB M.2 SSD + HDD 1tb
