Am I being bottlenecked ?

So I want to know if im being bottlenecked. I play games like Counter Strike Global Offensive and League of Legends mostly but I do tend to play Battlefield 3 and 4 here and there. Some Tomb Raider and H1Z1 rarely but all these games have something in common for my setup. Ill be playing for example CSGO, getting 280 FPS then randomly every minute or so the frames drop 60 or even 70. I get bad frame tearing and leads to my death in game which gets irritating. 

 

Set up is  as follows. : 

2x GTX 770 in SLI.

Intel Core i5-2300 being cooled by a Corsair H110.

8 GBS of Corsair DDR3 1333 MHz Ram.

Corsair 650W PSU 80PLUS GOLD.

 

Does my CPU bottleneck my GPUs or is it something else. Maybe software related? Please help !

No, no bottle neck.

 

Don't know the answer to the other question tho.

Just remember: Random people on the internet ALWAYS know more than professionals, when someone's lying, AND can predict the future.

No, that's not due to hardware bottlenecking. It rather has to do with The Software. ("bad" optimization)

 

If the tearing is annoying you, you should look into G-Sync monitors.

 

But I doubt all of these games have bad optimization. The frame tearing doesnt bother me, what really bothers me is the huge frame drops. I ask people in game with same setup and they all say theirs always stay at high fps never dropping frame. I think it is software related. Just stress tested my CPU for 5 hours, never went over 55C being boosted to 3.5GHz. I didnt install Nvidia Experience or the HD Audio drivers as i heard those two dont help.

Try playing CSGO with SLI off and see if problem persists

Maybe your friends are not as picky as you and don't notice it?

 

The frame drops are most likeley when a new set of data has to be loaded.

 

One could say that 2 GB of VRAM of the GTX 770 is little or that you have "only" 8 GB of RAM and it's just 1333 MHz. But not for CS:GO, i mean come on... that would be silly.

 

I would not point at the hardware still. 

 

Do you have your games installed on a HDD or a SSD?

 

Edit: Yeah, SLI could be a good explanation.

who cares...
