Ultimate Bottlenecking Guide Rev. 2.0

Hi,
@TechyInAZ - are the charts prepared for Overclocked CPUs or for the base clocks ?

Thanks for the help !

 

[TechyInAZ]

Base clocks for all except the K skus, K skus I assume a very mediocre overclock.

However, those charts are now not up to date, so don't follow them exactly like their 100% true.

I feel bit sad to see the almight processor of all galaxies 4770k being marked as blue for the 1080Ti, but since its assuming a mediocre overclock i guess i shouldnt worry about pairing it with a 1080Ti.

RTX's were such a flop for me, and for me only.

I7 4770 at 4.1Ghz (so 600mhz oc over stock ) locked on all cores permanently (not throttling cus max temp is 57 Degree Celsius(liquid metal)) with 1070 (+70 mhz).. BF 1 Multiplayer 64 player server, 1080p all ultra settings and 125% resolution scale (so almost 1440p)
99% cpu usage
60-70% gpu usage
It does lag and framedrop a lot less than my previous fx8370 but still.. Can't maintain solid 75hz of my monitor (drops to 50's.. With fx8370 were drops to 30s and more frequently).
Maybe it's my 16gb 1333 mhz ram???

Your CPU and GPU are not strong enough to attempt to play that game at those settings.

Drop the resolution scale back to 100% and that'll clear up some gpu usage. But thats all you can do. The biggest issue is cpu usage is so high. That's all fps. I'd use the ingame cap at 60fps. The problem is all cpu. BF1 is 's multithreads game it'll use all 8,and on the large servers it's going to saturate bandwidth with so many other players. Add on top the fps demands and the cpu is getting swamped. Cut down on nvidia control panel global settings, like turn down grass detail as that's a cpu bound setting.

Just a small update, I have (yes again) turned this thread into a discussion thread. I have edited my original post (in red) with my reasons.

As a side note, still rocking my 1080 and stock Ryzen 7 1700X, no bottlenecking whatsoever at 3440x1440.

That's an awesome chart, but I didn't see anything for my i5 3570k. Any suggestions as I am currently running an RX460 but my FPS suck when playing graphics-heavy games.

That's because you're on a RX 460. If you are playing at 1080P or higher, expect FPS to not be great. 1080P medium would be the best I'd think a RX 460 could do at higher frame rates.

 

[adwinrahmadi]

How about RTX 2060 + i5 7400, could it be causes some bottleneck?

 

[TechyInAZ]

Should be decent, you'll most likely get some bottlenecking, but nothing crazy.

 

[JesseM96]

@TechyInAZ I couldn't find my cpu in the list.
So i thought of asking.
Would a i5-4590 3.3ghz bottleneck with a GTX 1060 3gb?

 

[TechyInAZ]

nope you are good

 

[jostegogar]

Would a core i3 6100 3.7ghz bottleneck with a gtx 1660ti?
I play mostly CS GO GTA V and RE series and Tomb raider series

 

[shreyas133719]

I use a Lynnfield i7 870 FML can somebody help me with my thread?

 

[TechyInAZ]

FYI if nobody answers you here, just go ahead and make your own forum post.

@jostegogar Probably not in CSGO. But GTAV and the latest Tomb Raider game (SOTTR) you will most likely get bottlenecking.

Dual cores (even if they have hyperthreading) are quite bad for new games these days. Entry level quad cores are just enough for these titles as is when paired with a mid tier GPU.
