GTX1070 bottlenecked?

[xDanielxOossiex]

Hey guys! I got my new EVGA Geforce GTX1070 FTW Gaming ACX3.0 8GB yesterday and I was testing GTA5 with it, but GPU usage in-game is around 50-60% and CPU usage is 98%-100%.

I'm pretty sure it's being bottlenecked by my i5 4590.

 

What cpu should I get to prevent the cpu bottlenecking my GTX1070?

i7-4790K and overclock the shit out of it.

 

1440p monitor would be advisable as well. Regardless of resolution, max out those graphics settings.

I'd have to get a Z170 board, DDR4 Ram, i7 6700K, better cpu cooler. That would set me back around 600 euro's (not including old parts selling price)

Will i7 4790K work as well?

Oh, I was looking for parts and what it would cost me, so it didn't update

Reduce distance scaling and any scaling in Advanced Settings?

As expected, an i5 is not enough. i7-4790K is the least you want, with the 6700K being the best option atm for getting maximum FPS.

HOLD UP BEFORE YOU BUY A NEW CPU;

 

Your GPU is not getting bottlenecked by the CPU. YOU ARE BOTTLENECKING IT.

 

You turn on Vsync, on a 1080P monitor. Even 2024's GTX 2280 with an i7 10700K will be "bottlenecked" by those settings. By design the GTX 1070 is not going to be maxed out at 100% BECAUSE IT'S TOO DAMN POWERFUL FOR YOUR SETTING ENVIRONMENT.  60 fps on a 1080p game, even one as demanding as GTA V, is peanuts for a 1070, so naturally it will not max itself out.

 

If you want to max out your 1070's legs, buy a 1440p monitor, or a 144 HZ 1080p monitor.

Even so.

No "bottleneck" difference between Ivy Bridge i5 and Devil's Canyon i7. The only delta is because the Devil's Canyon i7 runs at 4.4 Turbo, and the Ivy i5 turbos at 3.8 Ghz. I can compare clockspeed apples to apples here because there is practically no gaming advantage between Haswell and Ivy.

My 1070 evga ftw is getting serio

My evga 1070 ftw is getting seriously bottlenecked by my 4590 as well. And I have a 144hz monitor and no vsync on. Every game I try gets bottlenecked. I5s just don't cut it anymore. I'm just biting the bullet and going 5820k/x99 as upgrading to a 4790k leaves me no upgrade paths

I think GPUs are getting too fast for the mainstream desktop CPUs. Even for i7s.

no, your cpu is fine , MSAA is glitched, at least in gta v. Read this:
