Is My CPU A BottleNeck? RX480 Same Performance as XFX 7850 for BF1

I upgraded to a XFX 480 from a XFX 7850 to be able to play BF1 at a higher frame rate. After the upgrade my system seems to be still struggling at only medium settings. Would the CPU be a bottleneck or possibly need more RAM?

Most likely since the game leans so hard on the CPU. With my 2500K I saw no benefit going from a 760 to a RX 480.

Intel Xeon 1650 V0 (4.4GHz @1.4V), ASRock X79 Extreme6, 32GB of HyperX 1866, Sapphire Nitro+ 5700XT, Silverstone Redline (black) RL05BB-W, Crucial MX500 500GB SSD, TeamGroup GX2 512GB SSD, WD AV-25 1TB 2.5" HDD with generic Chinese 120GB SSD as cache, x2 Seagate 2TB SSHD(RAID 0) with generic Chinese 240GB SSD as cache, SeaSonic Focus Plus Gold 850, x2 Acer H236HL, Acer V277U be quiet!

When are GPU's going to take over physics calls? Nvidia has that one thing, but gamers don't want that apparently.

I would say your CPU is the problem as battlefield 1 is a VERY CPU intensive game. If you were to upgrade your CPU i would recommend an AMD FX 8350 or an Intel  i7 4790.

do you this over clocking the 8320 would be worth it? or would the gains be minimal?
