E5-1650 v3 bottleneck.

I got another really cheap DELL t5810. I upgraded with an $8 e5-1650 v3 as usual.

 

In the past I have used GTX 1070s in these systems and it was a great pairing.

 

This time I got too bold. The 1070s were over $100. Closer to $110. And I saw an RX 5700xt (reference) for $125. So I pulled the trigger. But I'm getting bottlenecks at 1080p

 

Heaven and timespy ran great. But Hogwarts is getting slammed. I'm getting 50% - 60% GPU usage. COD is closer to full usage but drops into the 70% usage. I haven't tried other games yet.

 

Any guesses as to which games will be bottleneck the worst? How much will higher resolutions help?
