Lag with a rtx 2080

[xMaRRio]

Hello

So, I have a rtx 2080 and an intel core i5 4690k processor, and I feel like its bottlenecking. When I play different games, no matter what settings im on, I either get a lot of framedrops , or is just working bad. For example, in Battlefield V , with ultra settings, without rtx on, i rarely have 60+fps. What can I do so my games run better? I have thought about buying an i7 9700k/ waiting for the new ryzen 3000 series. Am I gonna get better frames if I buy a new one, what do you think? 

Thank you very much.

ur cpu bottlenecks your gpu heavily, just wait for zen 2

You mean that I should wait for the ryzen 3000 series to come out?

yes, you should be able to get a 8core/16thread part for around 350usd, or a 16core/32thread part for the price of a 9900k

try putting your cpu on an overclock with something like 1.5v on the vcore. Your chip will likely degrade, but just test a few games, and if it feels smoother than you will be sure it is the cpu. 1.4v is much safer, you could ru it at 1.4v for years, should be long enough for the next gen ryzens to release. so i guess you can overclock in the long term.

1.5V running continuously cant be good .. not to talk about heat generated as well. Need some good cooling if you want to run that kind of voltage. I have no experience with the mentioned CPU, but just as a general thought

@Stormseeker9 I am suggesting 1.5v in a few games for maybe a few hours max, and then if he notices improvement, to bring it down to 1.4v , which should give him good performance while he waits for the ryzen launch. I thought he mentioned he had watercooling, must be dreaming...

Just monitor your utilization during gameplay.  Your CPU will peg out at 100%, (if 90% or more yes its the bottleneck) at that point its whats holding ish back.
