[SOLVED] FPS drops with RTX 3060 or CPU bottleneck?

[ItsMeDante]

Hi fellas below is my setup

Mobo: Gigabyte Z97M-D3H
CPU: i7 4790K
Ram: 16 GB (8*2) 1866 DDR3
GPU: Asus OC RTX 3060

When I am playing games on 1080p ultra or very high settings no issues FPS are above 80 or even 100. But as soon as I turn on Ray tracing it massively drops down to 40-50 FPS. (DLSS is ON as well and VSYN is OFF)

My question, is my CPU and other component bottlenecking my GPU or is it normal? And do I need to lower graphic settings and try RT. As far as I know RTX 3060 is more then enough for 1080p gaming.

Your inputs are appreciated.

40-50 with RT at ultra with a 3060 sounds about right. RT pretty much cuts fps in 1/2.

Well then that's good to hear cause I had no plans on upgrading for next 1-2 year. I thought it was my CPU bottlenecking. Thanks for the input mate. Appreciated.
