i5 4690k and GTX 1070 bottleneck?

[reaganbush84]

I have a i5 4690k overclokced to 4.4 ghz running with a GTX 1070. Right now I play on a 60hz 1080p monitor, but I plan to upgrade to either a 1080p 144hz monitor or a 1440p 60hrz monitor.

I use vsync when I play most games, and when I play Battlefield 1, my frames sometimes drop to below 60 on Ultra settings. I didn't think this would happen with a 1070 at only 1080p at 60hz. Also, Task Manager says that my i5 is always at 100% usage when playing. Could it be that my i5 is bottlenecking the 1070?

Thanks

That's what your description sounds like. CPU at 100% usage and GPU not? But at 1080p/60hz, it is a bit odd. Still, if you are playing multiplayer on a very busy server, I suppose that can happen.

When you move the 1440p/144Hz the Haswell quad core will definitely be a bottleneck.
