Possible Bottleneck?

[Erlick]

So I’ve had a pc the passed 4-5 years that has done wonders for me. But I feel like something is bottlenecked. I can’t tell what, In theory my computer should be fine? I recently upgraded to a gtx 1070ti and my i7 4770k overclocked to 4.6ghz should be able to handle it. Tried taking off the overclock and reapplying it and trying the performance but it always feels stuttery. Most games I can get 100+ FPS but it will still feel stuttery. But regardless of whether I play on low settings or ultra settings, overclocked or no overclock, I get the same performance all the time. I play in 144hz 1080p so this is a bit of a pain for me. Gta feels like an unstable mess. If anybody sees anything wrong with my specs that might be holding me back or if there’s a setting I’m missing out on my motherboard, let me know thanks 

 

my pc:

MSI motherboard 

i7 4770k water cooled 4.6ghz

GTX 1070ti

250GB Samsung SSD

2 TB HDD

16GB 1333mhz ddr3 Ram

A lot of games you do have a pretty nice CPU bottleneck going on there. If you aren't seeing high CPU usage in games, Check your ram. Seems weird, but occasionally I will find something that just hates slow ram. Also, try using DDU to clean the GPU drivers, and reinstall them.

This sounds like a driver issue for sure.

 

I had a similar issue with my laptop, on linux it was all stuttering and crap, but on windows, buttery smooth, it all came down to the drivers, same game on linux on my desktop with and AMD video card, worked great, turns out Nvidea's driver for linux are shite.

 

I know you are just on windows, but a clean install of drivers might just do it for you, just make sure you completely uninstall all your old drivers first!
