Need help to solve CPU bottlenecking

[tuanlinglee]

Budget (including currency): below RM2000 for a new monitor

Country: Malaysia

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Half competitive half casual gaming : Assassin Creed Odyssey, Resident Evil 2, The Division 2, Rainbow Six Siege, Dota 2

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

Hi, my current pc parts are:
Intel i5-4690
Galax RTX 2060 White
MSI Z97s Krait Edition SLI
Hyper X Fury 16GB Kingston DDR3 1600 MHZ
Kingston SSD 120GB
WD 2TB HDD

Hi there, I have just changed to RTX 2060 due to my fan failure in my beloved GTX 970. However, I have faced with severe game stutter especially on Triple A games such as Assassin Creed Odyssey and The Division 2. My CPU Usage will always spike up to 100% usage while my gpu will remain in 50% or 60 % usage. Sometimes even my dota 2 can hit up to 100% CPU usage too.

Therefore, I would like to ask that is it wise to upgrade to a new 1440p 144hz monitor as to reduce my cpu usage ? I mean will it help if i play in 1440p and medium settings for The Divison 2 and Assassin Creed Odyssey or even the future Vanhalla ?

I actually have few choices to choose however i do not know that which monitor is the best ideal choice for me:

1) Alienware AW2521HF
2) Samsung 28UR550 (4k 60hz)
3) Acer Nitro XV272U (i feel that this is the best choice but i just dont feel promised with Acer quality)
4) MSI MAG271CQR (WQHD  144hz)


Can someone kindly guide me on this ? I have been dilemma since MCO in my country which started on March 2020 until today
P/S : I am currently using HP Pavilion 23fi

Thank you to all the mates around the world.
Stay safe.

Upgrading your monitor will not reduce your CPU bottleneck. You need to upgrade the bottlenecking part to reduce your bottleneck.

hi thanks for your prompt reply. I wish that too however changing the entire pc is not in the part of my plan. Any ideas mate ?

The monitor has nothing to do with performance or framerate and certainly isn't bottle necking anything. 

 

Your issue is the CPU and RAM, but upgrading those will require a new mobo, as well. There's no cheap way out here. You basically overbought on the graphics card. It's more powerful than your system can make use of.

Thank you to both of you and I think I guess I have no choice to wait until I have a sufficient budget to get a new PC again.

Thank you to both of you.

used i7 4770k/4790k. oc the cpu to 4.5ghz+. there are plenty of guides how to do that. do you have 2x8gb or 1x16gb of ram. if 2x8gb you are all good. if you have 1x16gb get atleast 1x8gb more of the same brand and model in order for your ram to run at dual channel.

 

anyway i7 4770k/4790 when overclocked will give you much more performance. and then your cpu shouldnt bottleneck with rtx 2060 anymore
