GPU Bottlenecking

[BukiJutsu]

Hoping someone can help me fix my gpu bottle necking. My build is a Ryzen 9 5900x, Asus Crosshair VIII Formula mobo, 32gb Ram with an Asus Dual RTX 3070. I have an Alienware 27" 240hz running 1440p. I ran the benchmark on Gears of war 5 and says my gpu bound 99.74% of the time giving me an average fps of 86.8. A far cry from the 240 I'm trying to get. Anyone have any thoughts?

That means you're getting the best performance out of your graphics card and you're not being limited by other hardware (CPU).

If you want to increase your FPS you will need to lower the games graphics settings and resolution.

There will always be a bottleneck, no matter how tiny.

In your case, its the GPU.

 

If you want more FPS, then lowering settings is the only way to go, since your GPU is already maxed out

Ok cool thanks. I did notice settings were at Ultra.

The only thing you can buy that's better than a 5900X is a 5950X, so even if you were CPU bottlenecking, you're pretty much just going to have to deal with it. But, you're fine.

 

At 1440p I don't think low will even get you to 240 FPS, but you do realize you don't have to run at 240 FPS just because your monitor is 240Hz, right? Just make sure some form of adaptive sync is enabled and don't worry about it.

Also keep in mind a LOT of games simply cannot run at 240fps. Not on any hardware out right now. Simply because 240hz is for those uber pro gamers and that basically all people besides those don't notice a difference between 144 and higher thus it is not a priority for devs to make the game be able to run at those framerates effectively. This is different from esports games as well those are basically made for those pro gamers to carry them forward.
