How can an FX-6100 (or similar AMD) bottleneck a GTX 1060 without using 100% of the CPU? (Asking for a friend.)
It's difficult to understand how the GPU is held back by a CPU that isn't being utilized 100%.
His system:
FX-6100
970 mobo (he can OC, not sure how much)
8GB DDR3 1600
EVGA GTX 1060 3GB FTW+
? 550W PSU
Playing Fallout 4 at 1080p on max settings he said his GPU usage was around 60-70%, while also his CPU usage never reached 100%.
