cpu bottleneck

[Semendereye]

Hello

i just bought an 1080Ti but when i play csgo i have huge bottleneck its only using 15% of my gpu so my frames are low
is there a way i can fix it for some time until i buy a new cpu

My specs:
i5 6500 turbo on
1080ti
drr3 ram 1600mhz

We need a bit of information first.

 

• Is your system prebuilt?
• Why are you using DDR3 RAM?
• How old is this system?

A quad core in modern games? Yeah seems a bottleneck. Unfortunately, game settings usually affect GPU usage but you're free to experiment to see what changes framerates, because it varies game to game

Some cheap H110 motherboards use DDR3

My system is not prebuilt
I have b150m ddr3 motherboard thats why
and my system is 3 years old except for my gpu and ram

i only get bottlenecks in csgo btw

csgo is cpu based. I have the exact same issue, even when I use my gtx 960 instead of my 1070Ti. My cpu is a quad core too. The only way to actually lower the bottleneck in csgo is turn down resolution and maybe have higher graphical settings (settings that only effect the GPU, not the CPU in this case for csgo).

 

I play on 4:3 1024x768 

everything is as low as it can go except models (thats on high for me) and FXAA anti-aliasing, which I have on.

My cpu is a little older that yours and not as good, so if you go into the same settings as me, you can probably get 200 fps, seeing as I get 160 and lower.

it takes some getting used to for 4:3 but I see it as worth it. Good luck!
