Hey,
So I have a GTX 1080 Founders Edition and I feel like me CPU might be bottlenecking my GPU. I play at 1080p but with a dynamic resolution of 2.0x (2715 x 1527) and all settings maxed out. The games I play include GTA V, Battlefield 1 & 4, Dying Light and Cities: Skylines and the GPU never reaches above 80% and hovers between 60-80%. This is especially evident in GTA and Battlefield games where the CPU, with all 4 cores, maxed out at 100% with occasional dips on CORE 3. The games in question never get to go above 60 FPS as well (V-sync disabled).
So my question is: Should I wait it out and get the 7700K when it arrives in store and goes on sale (a couple of months) or just get a 4790K now and see if it improves anything?
Rig:
- Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz
- 4X4GB (Quad Channel) 16GB Kingston 1866MHz ram (running at 1600MHz)
- ASUS H97-PRO GAMER
- GTX 1080 FE
- Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250GB
- WD 1TB BLUE
- EVGA SuperNOVA 750 B2
Thanks!
