Hi everyone,

I have a i5 3570k 3.4Ghz and a GTX 1070.
Whil playing DOOM I have noticed that the fps does not change when I set from the lowest(off) to the highest (TSSAA (8TX)).

When chaning the resolution from 1080p to 720p, I get like around 10% more performance, from 155fps(1080p) to 170fps(720p)

Is my CPU bottlenecking my GPU?

I wouldn't say so, its just that after a certain FPS, any card struggles even with low settings. Try overclocking your CPU or GPU individually and see if performance changes by a reasonable amount.

What do you think of the stats in these images?
 


They reflect each individual scene. They don't help to answer your question. For one we've no clue what story they are trying to tell. I mean we can surmise that pic number 3 has the least anti-aliasing due to the lowered amount of VRAM usage. Labeling them would have helped. They are also different scenes. Doing the exact same thing in the exact same place helps when posting pics for these types of issues. We can see that because of so many "flat" solid color spaces in the first pic you are using less system RAM. But VRAM should be at the heart of the pic. That first pic tells the wrong story.

A pic really is worth a thousand words but so too is the person behind the lens and the director invisible actors. Should they not tell the right story we the viewers might be confused.

I'm sorry but... I'm having a hard time to understand what you are trying to tell me.
Are you saying that in not every situation my CPU is limiting my GPU? Because that is true but on pic 3 my GPU usage is at 42% (I think that's the Usage Percentage) while the cpu is almost maxed out which limits the GPU's performance.
