soo in my previous thread i cleared my doubts of upgrading from i3 3210 to i7 3770 with a gtx 1070... i saw some benchmarks in youtube... honestly i7 3770 is great pair but i saw some pubg benchmarks and the fps was low.. i mean the gpu usage was always at 80 % not 99% but cpu was not hitting 100% either cpu usage was always sitting at 60% to 70% ... so i was wondering is i7 3770 bottleneck for 1070 ??

also is it enough for 60fps for lets say 2 to 3 years ??

Sorry, but you misunderstand things. A gpu/cpu should ideally never hit 99%. A cpu at 60% just means that the game engine is using more of some threads than others. 99% usage on a cpu means all threads are saturated to maximum and anything more added is now going to start slowing other things down as the cpu starts prioritizing demands.
A gpu hitting 99% means it really isn't powerful enough to paint the details correctly and timely at that resolution to maintain the fps from the cpu. Something is going to suffer.

Both the gpu and cpu always perform at maximum ability, usage is just a measure of how much of that maximum ability is being used, it's not a measure of how much capacity it is using. So a gpu at 50% doesn't mean it'll put...


yea ik its a great cpu .. but i was wondering why is the gpu usage sitting at 80% in pubg while the cpu is not even bottlenecking?

So a gpu at 50% doesn't mean it'll put 50% more fps on screen at 100%, it means that it's already putting 100% ability into the current fps using 50% of what the card can give and raising details or graphics or resolution will eat up some or all of the 50% that's left.

omg thanks im such an idiot ... thanks for clearing my doubts 😀 will buy the i7 3770 as a cheap upgrade over my i3 3210 to game for atleast 3 years without any problem :😀D hope i can do that with this cpu what are ur thoughts? Karadjgne
 


ok thanks 😀
 
As the owner of a i7-3770k ang gtx970 and no budget at all for anything new (I've had them almost 5 years now) you'd be in a better position than me for sure. The cpu is well capable of decent fps, and at 1080p a gtx1070 can handle anything, including 4k DSR.

You'll have to get online and go searching pubg tweaks, settings, updates etc there's quite a few. Pubg isn't exactly smooth in its optimizations.
 


yea optimisation is bad on pubg saw some vids and reviews 😀 personally im buying i7 3770 for 3 years then fully upgrade my cpu , mobo , ram (when i get a job XDDDDD)
 


lol ! you are such a cool guy thanks for helping peace!!! 😀
