Bottleneck help

[CRBN]

Hello, 

 

I ran a benchmark for the new COD MW II and it says my CPU is 99% bottlenecking my GPU. 

 

Specs:

CPU: Ryzen 9 3950X 16-core 3.50 GHz

GPU: RTX 3080 Ti

RAM: 16gb DDR4 3600 MHz

Monitor resolution: Samsung G7 1440p QHD

 

Can I please have some advice how to unlock the remaining FPS from my GPU.

 

Thank You.

I see you're using DLSS, i would re-run the test on native resolution: 2560x1440, this should put more load on the GPU and make the ''bottleneck'' less.

I'd like to thank Activision from the bottom of my heart for teaching the term "bottleneck" to more people so they can misunderstand the concept and wring their hands over it.

I did this, it made a 50% difference, thank you. I always thought my CPU was good, should I be upgrading to the ryzen 9 7950x?

 

Is there a way to get to 0% bottleneck without upgrading my CPU?

upgrading is upto you, if you're happy with the performance then don't, i'm sure by now there are plenty of benchmarks out there comparing your cpu with the newer stuf you can check out.

yes but you'll probably have to play at 4k to get close to 0% bottleneck in this test.
I wouldn't worry to much about bottleneck as there will always be one.

The problem is for some weird reason, if i select max max settings for graphics or even low settings for graphics; i still get the same fps (~80 ingame). I have turned the fps limit to unlimited. I don't understand, shouldnt my fps increase if I select low settings?
