With already having a 2080, I'd really advise upgrading CPU before GPU.

Yep it's the CPU, has horrible single core performance which skyrim loves. My old FX8320 did the same thing. Would drop to 40fps making it an awful experience. Switch to the i5 4690k and never drops below 60. Trust me I regretted my FX purchase also, but I just sold both the CPU and Mobo and got the i5 I couldn't be happier now.

It is BS I just checked the ram usage and it doesn't take any more ram than Battlefield 4:


 

Probably all will be needed because of all the memory leaks that'll occur

This is why you only use windows defender and are smart on what you download and when you are suspicious you use Malware Bytes

sell your first 970 and get a 980 Ti

Please stop spreading this misinformation. An i5 has 0 problems in BF4 and GTAV. If you are getting 100% usage then you have something else running in the background. They no where near "struggle" to maintain 60fps in those games.

Some G1 970 can overclock to the performance of a stock 980. No where near a 980ti tho.

Yeah, that's almost the cost of a GTX 980

WEI is a horrible metric to use to benchmark your system - so bad that Microsoft has not included it in Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.

Set everything to low. There you go. It's an early access game. Don't count on optimization any time soon.

Nope, what's reddit?

Or don't cut back on the GPU and still have a better CPU.

I feel worse for people who bought 980s than Titan Xs.

100% chance of a bottleneck if what you said is happening.

On a 970 I play with everything set to very high besides shadows which are set to high, no msaa, advanced graphics off never drop below 60fps and 0 stutters. So with a 980 you can do everything very high maybe with 2x msaa if it still frame drops turn msaa off

inb4 they take all over priced shitty looking cars that almost 0 car enthusiast and tuners actually like. Then they notice it and put dlc for cars like AE86 and R34 for 5€ per car

I would see how much an improvement skylake is before worrying about upgrading.
But yeah watchdogs isn't the best PC port out there.

Seems like an i5 is all you need. You can record and stream your gameplay with shadowplay which doesn't affect performance much maybe 2-5fps. You won't need the extra threads to edit them since you move them to a Mac anyway.
