Question How to fix CPU bottleneck on my new PC ?

[darceyo]

Hello. I have the CPU bottleneck in the most games on my totally new PC build.
I have RTX 4060 and i5-14500 and I can't believe it's bottlenecking.. but it is.

Any suggestions how to fix that?
I've tried to set the FPS limit and make the resolution higher than on my monitor but it's not always helping me...

try to run cinebench 2024, if your multi score is above 900(?) , without throttling or overheating, your cpu is ok.
Try to look up similar cpu scores to confirm.
do not disable hyperthreading or e-cores
check gpu-z, what does bus interface say? click on the question mark to run the render test.

when running games, if possible, install intel presentmon and look at gpu busy and frametime numbers. if frametime is higher, then you likely have a cpu bottleneck.

Yeah, my score was something about 1400+ I don't remember it clearly. I tested my system there a week ago.
I had no throttling or overheating.
With the Hyperthreading I had more stutters than without it.
In the Bus Interface it says: PCle x8 4.0
I will check the Presentmon and will be back to you.

Your I5-14500 has 6 cores which are hyperthreaded, and 8 efficient cores.
By turning off hyperthreading you have effectively cut your processing power to three main cores.
See how you do when you enable hyperthreading

No. I have 6 P-cores and 8 E-cores without the Hyperthreading (not 3 p-cores)... And they're used in the game.
With the hyperthreading I had more threads and more stuttering.

Reset the BIOS to the optimized defaults and call it a day. You are clearly in over your head.

... I just will say that you are funny.

We need to see screenshots of actual CPU and GPU usage when playing these games. MSI afterburner has an on screen display option that can provide those numbers. You will never see full CPU utilzation if games are not able to take advantage of the cores/threads you have available. For instance, I only play WoW, and it really only uses 4c/4t, so the CPU utilization of my 12700k is stupid low.
