[SOLVED] gpu usage 0

[mrlegos21]

hey guys. i bought a new gpu,specifically a gtx 1070 g1 and in games,i have a very low usage(between 0 and 40%)
im thinking that its a cpu bottleneck,cuz my cpu is an amd 860k,which i plan to upgrade in the near future,but i want to hear your thoughts about it aswell.

 

[rgd1101]

yup that a weak cpu

 

[mrlegos21]

what i dont understand is that for example when i game, no mans sky runs flawlessly on high settings,it uses around 40%gpu without major drops,but while sekiro shadows die twice constantly keeps dropping to 0

 

[rgd1101]

different game use different resource
that why those bottleneck check website is useless

That CPU is simply too slow for that GPU. It was too slow for top GPU's, when it was current gen tech. Definitely need to upgrade.

thank you guys

thank you guys

No problem! When you are ready to upgrade, it wouldn't be a bad idea to ask for advice on parts selection, to make sure you get the best deal, for your money.

well, for the cpu i want either a r5 3600x,or something with 8cores,like a r7 1700x

Given pricing, on the 3600x, I would suggest an i5 12400/f, at this time.

Something like this.
