[SOLVED] How do i know if my CPU is throttling ingame?

runnaky · Nov 11, 2018

I just bought a 1080 ti,to go with my i7 6700(non k)

I noticed while playing bf1 at 1080p ultra my cpu never worked harder in its lifetime,i have a stock cooler and it hit 85C,i still get alright fps,90-120,but i feel like it could be better

Is a slightly better cooler than the stock one the solution.

Also is cpu usage supposed to be 100% while gaming?

If your hitting 100% usage your at a CPU bottleneck. Sadly BF1 tears through CPUs, especially in large multiplayer maps. Bringing your temps down will be healthy for your CPU but likely won't give you any more FPS as your at your CPU's FPS limit now.

actually i just checked with msi afterburner ingame,cpu usage is around 70-80%,hwmonitor was drunk

Your still getting up close to it for sure. Again a better cooler will help temps and maybe .1% lows FPS but I would not expect much else besides.

well im kinda disappointed i thought i would be getting constant 120+ fps at 1080p ultra but i guess i need to get 8700k and overclock it to 500ghz...

With BF1 your better off with more cores and threads with high clock speeds. Your limited on that front.

what do you wanna spend if you wanna get to that framerate but i don't know if you want a beauti of a cpu cooler or jsut raw power, i could help if you wanna get more frames.
