CPU spikes to 100% usage causing framedrops/lag

[LaCake3]

Hey guys.

I'm new here and i got a problem.

 

When playing COD Warzone and Cold War my CPU spikes to 100% causing massiv framedrops and lag. 

In Warzone the spikes causes huge lag, where my controlles is all over the place. 

I have tried adjusting minimum and maxium processor state in power management, that helped at little. 

Anyone got advise? 

Specs:

i5 9400f

MSI H310m Pro-vdh plus 

Asus RTX 3060 Dual

16 gb G.skill ram 

650watt PSU

Warzone is cpu heavy game. it utilizes well over 12 threads for me. your cpu only have 6 threads so that will be a problem. Samller freamedrops with your cpu are expected but massive framedrops do not sound right.

 

Download HWINFO64. run the sensors. Play for a hour and check cpu temps.

Also what speed is your ram? and is it 1 stick or 2 sticks?

Also what 650w psu?

I didn't have this problem with 1660 i had before upgrading.

I have 2x8gb running 2666mhz (MB doesn't support higher speeds) 

It's not a big brand PSU, inter-tech eps-650w that came with the prebuild.

CPU is around 70-80 celsius after 1+ plus warzone

did you DDU or did oyu use the old drivers? Run DDU and try newest drivers, if they do not work try different driver versions.

pretty bad but should work

In my experience there really isn't much you can do about a cpu bottlenecking,  you can try overclocking it, more effectively with Intel cpus, but if that doesn't overcome the bottleneck, the solution is simply to upgrade to a better cpu.

Of course,  the 1660 is a much weaker card so there was not such a big bottleneck,  3000 GPU series need a beefy CPU, 6c/12t minimum.

I did a clean driver install on the gpu after upgrading.

Do you have any recommendations for an upgrade that isn't overkill and to expensive?

10700k for Intel,  R5 3600 for AMD ,which would be slightly weaker but still good and around 100 bucks or so cheaper. 

And you'll need a new mobo for either.

price diff. is 160 us in my country, but is the 10700k that must better?
