[SOLVED] cpu bottle neck

[colder89]

hi all im testing my pc and i see that my gpu is not running at 100%. Statistics during games such as warzone , pubg, escape from tarkov are; cpu usage 95-100%, gpu usage 30-60%.
my hardware is:

• gtx 1060 6 gb;
• ram 16 gb;
• fx 6300 amd;
• monitor 60 hz.

Someone coulde help me with some explanation of the problem?

You cpu is weak and below entry level for modern gaming. What you are seeing is to be exacted.

ok so if change my cpu into a fx 8350 i can solve the problem for a 60-70 fps smoother game experience?

It might help a little in some games that are designed to use more than 6 cores/threads but ultimately it has the same weak cores, just 2 more. The old FX series was very average performing when new and hasn’t aged well.

also the motherboard you are using might not be powerful (wattage and voltage regulators) enough to upgrade to a FX8350 and run it stable. Better get a new base: motherboard, CPU, DDR4 RAM, eventually a new power supply as well.

I should have asked, what motherboard do you have? Many that claim to support 125w CPU’s like the 8350 actually suffered throttling problems as the motherboard VRM’s could not handle the power draw.

You are better off saving up and upgrading your CPU to a more recent platform, which will need a new mobo and RAM. 1060 will be fine for 1080p gaming but an upgrade in that department would not go a miss too. But for all of this, you will need to make sure your PSU is good enough, so what are your PSU specs?
