Ryzen 1400 & MSI GTX 960 2G bottleneck?

[TheCrether]

Hello I wanted to ask if the CPU is bottlenecking the GPU and vice versa because I have that and I can't even play PUBG anymore.

The R5-1400 should not bottleneck the GTX 960. The GTX 960 should be able to run at 100% usage, meaning the CPU is not the weak link.

The R5-1400 should not bottleneck the GTX 960. The GTX 960 should be able to run at 100% usage, meaning the CPU is not the weak link.

But for example at Fortnite the Cpu is sometimes at 100% and the GPU at 40-60%

Should only be around 50% cpu usage with an 8 threaded cpu on fortnite.

If it's hitting 100% then it's something else using it.
