Bottlenecking

Toothpasta

My build right now has a base ryzen 7 2700 and a rtx 2070. Is my gpu bottlenecking my cpu or is it the other way around. I feel like I’m not having enough performance.

Can you list your complete specs? What performance did you expect?

 

The R7 2700X is not a very good processor if you're after high fps, specially with low memory but this doesn't mean it will always slow down your 2070, it depends greatly on what graphical settings you're after and what display.

The way to check is record your percentage of processor use for your cpu and gpu during a test. If your CPU is consistently hitting 100% load but your GPU isn’t you’ve got a CPU bottleneck.  If it’s the other way you’ve got a GPU bottle neck.  It’s rare to balance something so perfectly that there is no bottle neck anywhere.  The bottleneck can be small though. If you’re getting as a random example, near 90% on one while the other is at 100% it’s about as good as can be expected.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

i also have a 256gb m.2 ssd of some kind with a 850w Corsair platinum psu. I was expecting somewhere around 140 FPS on the new modern warfare with 144hz 1440p but I’m getting around 100.

Idk why but for some reason it says my gpu always runs at like 5-10% and my cpu at 30%. I think there’s something wrong

So a really hard to drive monitor and more than enough memory for any game.  It’s possible you don’t have enough gpu to drive 1440p@144fps.  Others will have more accurate opinions on that than me.  That looks like a pretty hard ask to me.  I’ve got a monitor with similar specs, but I’ve got a Gtx970 that struggles to drive Even 1080p at 60hz on some games.  I’m badly gpu bottlenecked and I’ve got a moldy old 4770k with a weak overclock.

“Something wrong” would definitely be true.  Either with the testing suite or your hardware

I have a 2700 (3.9ghz all core OC, and 3200mhz ram) and a 2070 as well, and its a GPU bottle neck with that set up honestly. 100 FPS on MW with a 1440p screen on ultra sounds about normal. I have BF5 dumbed down for a better competitive feel, and I average about 120-130fps on my set up. On Borderlands 3 I run about 90 or so FPS with a custom setting set up (from what I remember). Seems these newer games are poorly optimized. That and I feel the RTX cards leave something to be desired for the price. 

My First (Current) Build:

Ryzen 7 2700 (3.90 1.35v OC) | Asus Prime X470 Pro | G.Skill Ripjaws V 16gb 3200 | Inland Professional 512gb M.2 NVME | Samsung 860 Evo Sata M.2 1TB | Corsair H115i Platinum | Corsair ML 140 RGB Fans | Fractal Design Meshify C | EVGA RTX 2070 XC Ultra

 

Laptop:

HP Spectre X360 13t Gem Cut (i7 8565u, 240gb, 8gb mem)

 

My Ride:

2015 VW Golf TDI Sportwagen

Eventually an XJ manual...
