RTX 3070 bottlenecking?

Hi Folks,

 

Been a while since I was on here.... 

 

Anyways bought a Gigabyte RTX 3070 OC yesterday, all fired up, but not getting the frames I was expecting. I do have an old i5-4690K running at 4GHz so thinking this may be the issue paired with MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING motherboard and 16GB GDDR3 memory. 

Although it's the most optimised game I'm getting 70fps and dipping to 50fps on COD: CW. Even on Overwatch I'm getting 60. I've reinstalled drivers from GPU but still the same.

Any ideas? 

Case: Carbide 300R

CPU: i5 4690K @ 3.90GHz

RAM: 8GB DDR3

Mobo: MSI Z97-G45 Gaming

GPU: R9 290 Tri-X

PSU: EVGA SUPERNOVA NEX650G

Storage: 4TB NAS

Drive 1: Seagate 1TB 7200RPM

Drive 2: WD 500gb 7200RPM

I would say you don't have a system that can generate frames fast enough for a 3070 to render at 'amazing' speeds; what did your 3070 replace?

**I frequently edit any posts you may quote; please check for anything I 'may' have amended.**

 

Current PC spec. in my profile.
Can I realistically call myself a gamer, if I only play ONE, twenty year old game...?

Did you test boot it, before you built in into the case?

WHY NOT...?!

Well I did have an R9 290 for about 5 years, 2 weeks ago I got a 970 from a friend so I could at least play CW. I should mention even when taking the settings down from medium/high without RT and running on low i still get the same FPS

major cpu bottleneck. 3070=2080 ti.. You shoudl not pair that cpu with such gpu at 1080p. at 4k it could be fine. at 1080p certainly not.

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.

bad airflow case, but it should be fine with right set of fans. What exact 750w psu? it can be horrific or very good.
