Hi guys i recenty bought rx 580 8gb version and i see little to no difference so im thinking it may be the cpu which is amd a10 7860k that it bottlenecks my gpu.So whats better ryzen 5 1600x or i7 6700k. I saw at some articles that intel are more optimise. Yes im going to buy new cpu cooler ram and motherboard

Some references
Overwatch i only get 50-90 fps at epic settings (highest) but when i turn it at lowest settings still the same fps 50-90 and i see gpu usage is sometimes 100 percent then drops down to 0 percent and cpu is always 60-90 percent.
So whats better upgrade i7 6700k or ryzen 5 1600x?

Other specs as of right now
8gb ram
500 psu (not stock)
Asus a68 hmk motherboard

I7 all the way if you can afford it.

Make sure your cpu actually is the component limiting your fps. 60-90% usage doesn't sound like a bottleneck but then again, it's an APU so it may be including it's GPU usage in that as well.

I'm not seeing your problem and point of upgrading. As long as you have a 60hz monitor (being the most common), your framerate is perfectly fine at 50+FPS, IMO. There is no point going over your refresh rate either as you won't perceive the difference.
