I5 6600non k ,gta v help

[ragasshaggy]

Hi, I have an I5 4440 and a Gtx 970(installed today),working with 16 gb DDR3 @1600 mhz, today I was trying to play gta 5 in very high/ultra preset keeping the 3.5 gb buffer in mind and I was just fine enough having 45-50 fps.
I lowered the settings a little more(very high) to get a stable 60 fps @1440p and then I started up obs to record at 60 fps 1440p  , game started lagging badly touching 15-20 fps while recording. So I started up task manager on the slow updates mode on CPU performance(4minutes of graph) then played and recorded one process at a time and both the process at a time.
With obs alone I was getting into 15% to 20% CPU usage at a time , with gta v Alone at those settings I hit 70% to 85% CPU usage , while I clearly realize that my CPU is getting bottle necked and here comes my question will an I5 6600 non K version be enough to use obs and gta v @1440p @60FPS stable while having about 30% free CPU.I might install another 970 in sli . As I might as well be live streaming in near future in which that 30% power could be of use. Or could be playing at 4K very high, 1440p extended ultra with dual 970

why not use shadowplay?

6600 would be enough, but if you are going that road, might as well go 6600k with aftermarket cooler so that you don't have the problem you are having right now again.

I am accustomed to obs and for streaming it rocks too much very less latency

Well getting a 6600K is not that big of a problem, but buying a motherboard z170 will not be able to buy another 970 if I go with z170.
Nice idea I like it I ll think over it.

Well z170 motherboards go $20 more than h170 motherboards to be honest. Also getting another 970 might not be the best idea, would be better if you sold your 970 and got a 980ti, in my opinion.

 

[ragasshaggy]

You say it will be enough right I believe you .but I am keeping this post as unanswered for a few more hours as I would like 2 know what other people think as well.

Also just on a second note, going SLI should not be your priority any time soon, the 970 is a great card, even for 1440p.

Well money constraints are huge as I have to ask my dad for it. And he seriously(games) does not like it and YouTube nobody knows about, hey do drop me a subscribe on YouTube if you can
And please ask your friends also

And I thought of going 5120*1440 dual monitors ultrawide with the dual sli setup that is going to be 3.5x 1080 p sli will need all that extra CPU in future,GPU also
