[SOLVED] Cpu Bottleneck?

[Rui Pedro Fernandes]

Soo in the last few months I started to play some new games and I realized that in some of them the fps were very low, on ffxv with min presets and with all the nvidia options off, the fps is around 100 when not on combat, sometimes the cpu usage drops to 1% for like a sec, it happens often during battle. On monster hunter is the same thing in average 75 fps while on a quest with high presets. Also on dragon's dogma when I'm outside Gran Soran the fps drops a lot . Eso does the same thing even on low presets. On all these games except dragon's dogma the cpu usage is 65 % and above on all times and the gpu never exceeds 90% usage. I tried some things like to change the settings on the nvidia control panel to prefer max performance but it didn't changed.
I think that i have a cpu bottleneck but i would like to know your opinion. If it is in fact it is a cpu bottleneck. I was thinking about buying the new i7 10700k or the i7 9700k.
I would really appreciate your help!

Have you made sure your RAM is running at 3000 MHz? Download CPU-Z and, in the Memory section, make sure the DRAM Frequency says 1500 MHz. If not, go into your BIOS and enable XMP.

Your CPU seems to underperforming a little, maybe try to overclock it slightly, to 4.1 - 4.2 GHz.

Other than FFXV, I haven't heard of any other games you have mentioned, so I don't know of this is normal behavior or not, but maybe the games you are playing are more CPU bound or poorly optimized.
