Question Does my CPU bottleneck with my GPU

[Vayne77]

I have RTX 2060 with i7-7700

I play GR WIldlands @1080p ultra settings....and I only got 45 fps?

-Windows is up to date?

-Motherboard drivers?

-Gpu drivers?

-Cpu and gpu temps are good?

-Running at least 2x 8GBs of ram?

-PC is clean of viruses and malware?

-Nothing in the background eating up cpu or gpu resources?

No. You're not experiencing a significant bottleneck.

Temp good, I use 16 GB RAM

I only have Opera running when playing game

How do you know that my PC not experiencing significant bottleneck?

Is it normal that RTX 2060 can't run wildlands ultra settings @1080p 60fps?

Yes.

Is that 2x 8GB, or 1x 16GB? There is a difference.

If that's all, then performance is as expected. I was just covering the basics.

Because significant bottlenecks only occur when pairing a high-end component with a low-end component. You have two higher end components. If you are experiencing issues with your game play, the problem exists elsewhere.

2 x 8GB

I have same setup bought from bestbuy ibuypower pc came with i7 7700 had rtx 3 g 2060 instead of the 6 g . And it got more than 45 fps. I upgraded to the rtx evga 2070 and I get 90 fps or so and runs very well. I wouldnt think the 2060 would bottleneck if the 2070 doesnt on mi e with same cpu

Unless the OP has literally the exact same hardware - not just the cpu and gpu - and software installed in the PC as you did, this doesn't hold as much weight.

Here is My PC Specs
CPU : Intel Core i7-7700 3.6Ghz - Cache 8MB
GPU : GALAX Geforce RTX 2060 6GB DDR6
Motherboard : MSI B250M Gaming Pro (LGA1151, B250, DDR4)
RAM : GEIL DDR4 EVO X RGB LED PC19200 Dual Channel 16GB
HDD : WDC 4TB SATA3 64MB - Blue
PSU : Seasonic Focus Gold GX-550/FX-550 - 550W Full Modular
OS : Windows 10 home

I dont have SSD, does running the game on SSD helps?

I'm gonna bet his system was very very close to mine

 

[Adamy24]

Different mother board and same type of ram

A SSD allows for a snappier OS and better load times with games and other apps.
It helps with map loading times in the large, open world titles.

Post the URL to your results. It'll help in identifying a serious issue, if any.

Here is the test

 

[86zx]

Is windows in high performance mode and is all the settings in the bios set to high performance (except maybe fan mode cuz that could be loud lol)

 

[Phaaze88]

Neither of the storage drives appear to be faring well, with the C drive being worse off.
The secondary drive is a slow 5400rpm model - nothing to really be done about that one.

Is the C drive's firmware up to date?
How about drive health? If Western Digital doesn't have available software, you can check drive health with Crystal Disk Info: https://crystalmark.info/redirect.php?product=CrystalDiskInfoInstaller
Scan the drives for viruses and malware. Adwcleaner is pretty good at finding malware that tends to get past antivirus programs: https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner/

How to set that setting?

what does this mean btw?

The drive has accumulated a large number of bad sectors - it happens to all storage drives over time.
"Bad sectors are areas of the hard drive that do not maintain data integrity. They are automatically masked by the operating system and thus hard to identify, especially if large amounts of the disk are currently in use.
If you actually run into bad sectors, however, that certainly is a bad sign."

Do you backup your data from time to time? If not, you should do so.
That, and consider replacing that unit.

Use same settings and compare with the Gtx 1080 in the benchmark graph.

This game can be pretty rough on ultra.

Does this can happen when the HDD almost full? Because I only have like 250GB free space from 1.8 TB

Or because bad PSU problem possible? I use a cheap 1stplayer budget PSU at first but I changed it to Seasonic Focus Gold now

 

[Phaaze88]

1 & 2)No. It's completely normal over the life of the drive.
