Are these stats ok?

Hi,

Yesterday, I set up a 2nd monitor mostly for statistical/tracking purposes of apps running on the main monitor.

Right now, I have WWE 2k17 up and running and according to CPUID, my 760 SC 2GB is showing 92% usage while max usage is 100%. I assume usage is referring to how many cuda cores are currently being used. GPU Vram is currently sitting at 74% utilization and max 98%. CPU usage rate is around 45% with random peaks going up to 90%. RAM is about 55%.

As for temps under these usages, I am averaging 55-60C for the CPU and 62 C for the GPU. Getting new premium thermal paste, cryorig h7, and properly reseating the cooler enabled me to reduce idle temps by 5 C and temps under load by 20 C.

I am waiting to get a 970 ACX 2.0 4GB back from RMA from EVGA. Once I have it, I can hopefully start using shadowplay to get an fps counter in game because I heard having 2 monitoring software can cause issues?

What I'm wondering is, since I know the GPU is my bottleneck now and not because of temp,

#1 With the increased vram and cuda cores, I assume utilization rate will go down and I won't suffer fps issues anymore?

#2 Is it worth upgrading to a 1060/1070 to get better fps or is it not worth it?

#3 Are these numbers I'm getting from CPUID accurate at all? I also use EVGA Precision X and it showed essentially the exact same GPU stats

Oh sorry, I have an i7 7700. I included it in the title at first but removed it for reasons I don't remember.

1) With the new card, your fps will increase a lot, because the GPU core is more efficient and More powerful, and the card will have more *CUDA cores etc.
2) if you are running at 1080p the 970 will hold up for some time, no reason to get a 1060/1070
3) looks about right

Hope this helps!

It just a metter of gpu. Gtx 970 will be enough to play with for the next 2 years. The cpu usage of arround 40% is normal for this particular i7. Just wait for your nvidia card to get back from RMA and the fps will increase by at least 2 times. :)
