i5-6600K and GTX 1070 8GB Rog Strix Bottlenecking?

[tobhuse]

Hi!

Well, I upgraded my motherboard to a Z170A Gaming Pro Carbon, my cpu with a i5-6600K, and 8gb of ram running at 2600mhz. Should mention that I also use the ID-Cooling Frostflow 240L liquid cooler. Been testing my new rig a few days with Watch Dogs 2, BF1 and Titanfall 2. It runs good, but just recently i monitored my CPU and GPU usage and temps with HWi in BF1, and my cpu usage was on 97-100% and almost the same in gpu usage in 1080p/ultra settings with a 144hz monitor. So you probably already know what my question is.. Is the 1070 STILL bottlenecking my cpu? The i5 is currently running at 4.1Ghz on turbo.

If they are both at high usuage, it's not a bottle neck. BF1 is optimize for the 6600k, so that is another reason. What settings are you planning on?

Oh, okey! Guess i misunderstood the whole bottleneck issue then, cause the fps is really good in Ultra settings all things considered.. Cpu temps is a steady 49-50c also. Thanks for the reply btw.

as long as your gpu is at high usage theres no bottleneck as their shouldnt be with a 6600k .
