Potential CPU bottleneck with i7 2700k

[ThatGuySmyth]

Hi,

I am getting around 80-100% cpu usage in Fallout 4 which is causing i vast drop in FPS when looking in certain directions or am in big cities.

These are my specs:

If this CPU isn't strong enough, I'm looking for a relatively cheap workaround to allow me to play games on a reliable FPS.

Any help is appreciated, Thankyou!

Ben

PSU make/model?

An i7 and GTX 970 is easily capable of playing any game. Maybe FPS is locked? Check this-
