PC Specs
CPU: Intel Core i7-7700k @ 3.60 GHz
Mobo: MSI Z270-A PRO
RAM: 16 GB
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti
So about a week ago, my father had bought me a new pre-built gaming PC because I did well in my exams. When I tried gaming on it, I noticed that my FPS was significantly lower than most of the benchmarks that I've seen on YouTube. For example, in Rainbow 6 Siege I would be getting 80 - 120 frames while the benchmarks on YouTube would be getting up to 180 - 230 frames. I was quite weirded out by this and decided to use MSI Afterburner and see if anything was wrong. It turns out that my CPU had a higher utilization percentage compared to my GPU. Could my CPU be bottlenecking my GPU? If anyone could help me solve this problem, it would be very much appreciated.
