[SOLVED] My i5 7600k is bottlencking my gtx 1070ti

[mrwooflesss]

So I have a i5 7600k paired with a gtx 1070 to and I’m getting lower frame rates then I should be in some games like battlefield or bo4. The cpu usage is always around 80-90% and the gpu is around 20-50%. The resolution I’m playin at is 1600x900 but I’m upgrading it to a 1440p 144hz monitor in a couple of weeks. Will this help decrease my cpu usage? Or is it a hardware problem on my end?

There should a bit of a bottleneck (6-12%) but not as much as your system is showing.

What should I do

 

[jojesa]

Have you tried any troubleshooting?

 

[mrwooflesss]

I’ve tried resetting windows, reinstalling drivers, resetting tht eintire pc but nothing changes

 

[jojesa]

How are the temperatures of the CPU while gaming?
Could you post your system components (with model#s).

 

[mrwooflesss]

The temps are fine mid to high 60s

Mobo: as rock z270 killer
Ram: 16gb ddr4 2400mhz ballistx
Gpu: EVGA gtx 1070ti sc
CPU: i5-7600k stock
PSU: 600 watt EVGA Supernova
Storage: 500gb Samsung ssd

What are the frame rates you are getting on battlefield and bo4?

 

[mrwooflesss]

Around 130 to 170 on bf4 when it should be maxed out at 200 all the time while bo4 is like 120 in blackout and these are all low settings and my gpu never wants to go above 70% unless I raise the res to 200%

 

[mrwooflesss]

I think it’s just the res I’m playing at is causing my cpu to be used more. If I get a 1440p monitor then my cpu usage should go down because their isn’t as much of a strain on it in processing all the pixels it needs unlike 1600x900 which causes the cpu to work a little harder

 

[jojesa]

You don't have any issues.
You should be happy that you could reach those 120-170FPS with your GPU around 20-50% usage.
When you get the 1440p 144hz monitor then your GPU usage will go up accordingly.

4c isn't enough for high frame rates. Would be better off getting an 7700k for extra threads or Ryzen 2600 depending on the price of the 7700k.

Have a read of my two last replies here bottom of thread and watch the video i posted there. Youll get a good idea what impact frame rates has in these games.

Resolution does matter but also how many fps matters too.

Thanks for the advice
