Bottleneck GPU?

[netherbawss235]

I am looking to play games such as GTA V, CoD, and CS.

After doing some research apparently my GPU was "bottlenecking my computer". after checking out CoD BO3 system requirements.

I have the Intel I5 4460 and the Sapphire Radeon R7 265 Dual-X.

 

 

Also after doing testing I noticed that when playing GTA V my GPU load wasn't at 100% but ranged from 60-80%

NOT EVEN CLOSE...

MAYBE THE DUDE YESTERDAY WITH THE 970 BUT NOT THIS

I would't call this bottleneck if your gpu is not strong enough. It is simply not strong enough.

To your system: It is normal that games do not max out the gpu the whole time as far as i know. The only thing where you get this is something like firestrike or rendering

that i5 wont even bottleneck a 980, your gpu is on the low end.

My 280x is always maxed out even in cs:go, unless running VSync. It is not normal for this config to run 60-80%. It should be 95-99%.

Well yes, your graphics card is the bottleneck in your system.

I'd upgrade it if you can. Go for a 280x or a 290 or a 970 if you can.

Also if you are running vsync then that would be the reason your gpu load is so low

VSync would only affect GPU usage when above 60fps or whatever his hz rate is, however i doubt that is the case with gta v and a 265

Depends, vsync could be set to every second refresh for 30 fps, and the settings are low enough a 265 might be able to manage that. Also vsync isn't a cap, it still has an affect when fps dips, which is why adaptive vsync exists
