I've recently upgraded my GTX 770 to a GTX 1070 and I need some help deciding what to do.
My CPU usage is usually 80-100% and the temp ranges from 46-84C.
When comparing my friends with the same graphics card, I get about half the FPS they get (H1Z1: King of the Kill). The only explanation I can come up with is that my i5 is bottlenecking the GPU. The only temp solution I have is to set all my game settings to max so it reduces the CPU load. I've ordered some fans for the CPU and the case to cool down my setup but I still don't know what I can do to decrease my CPU usage on most games and increase overall FPS.
TL;DR:
CPU Usage is (usually) at 100% and I have half the FPS comparing to similar setups. Not sure what to do...
Specs:
MSI GTX 1070 Armor OC edition 8GB
Intel i5-4690k
MSI Gaming Z97 GAMING 5
16GB Ram
