Hi all,
I'm after some help here. I'm not new to PC building but its been a few years since I did much. I recently updated my PC to an i5 6600k and popped a GTX1060 6GB in for good measure. All my research suggested this would be a potent combo, but it seems the GTX is bottlenecking the i5.
For example, running Ghost Recon Wildlands I'm getting 47fps without maxing out the settings, with the GTX running at 99% but the i5 only at 54%. Other games are not showing the performance I'd expect (Dying Light, The Division, Far Cry 4) but I've not got full details for how the hardware is performing.
I have 16gb of DDR4 and plenty of SSD space. More than enough power from the PSU and the motherboard is more than capable as well.
Is this what I should expect? Something I'm missing to bring the performance more in line?
Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks in advance.
