1080ti + R5 1600 = Low GPU Usage

To spend money without need at such high resolution you still face GPU bottleneck regardless but I won't argue, just one note, I'm not a man.

 

Cheers for finding your bottleneck, happy upgrading.

Hey, if someone can afford the 8700k and wants it to OC, its still better than an 8700.

 

#8700k @ 5 GHz master race.

 

8700 will become a lot better value when non over clocking boards are available for it. Even the I5 8400 trounces the Ryzen 5 in gaming.

At the level of the 8700 you gain far more benefits with a solid performance in the memory than any gains in CPU raw frequency being frank, z370 is still justified if you can pair it with high end memory and overclock it optimally... it is the best value CPU that is a fact, while the unlocked variant is a more "enthusiasm" way to go...

 

Not every one wants to delid, shop for a Maximums Hero X and some 280mm aio or more.... it costs too much, but if you can get near identical performance, after all they are identical at stock so you only gain little bit from the OC... for some times saving a hell lot of money, enough to go from a 1070 Ti to a 1080 Ti (or at least it used to before the price rocketing) and all hassle free, out of the box experience that is appealing to many.

 

Now say this is your life's hobby and you absolutely want the best then that's why the unlocked on exists, to milk these people buwahahah... serious though my point is that both CPUs have their space and should be equally respected... after all it IS the same processor.

I got 5 GHz with a 140mm aio and no delid <80c in a mini ITX case though

 

It was my current goal to cram as much power into a mini case as I could.

I had my R5-1600X at 4.0 GHz bottleneck a 1070 in many games, though I was playing at 1080p so I was a bit more constrained than you are in that regard. Like you, ended up scrapping it and grabbing a CPU from the other team so I could take advantage of my 144 Hz display.

 

Also, I saw someone else mention "average CPU usage is too low to consider a CPU bottleneck" or something like that. In gaming, don't worry about overall CPU usage until it reaches 100%. What's most important is per thread usage. If one or two threads are maxed and GPU usage isn't, those maxed threads are your bottleneck.

it's a cpu bottleneck, i would not have paired a 1080 or a 1080 ti with ryzen, as it cannot handle 120/144, let alone 165 hz in some games.

If you read above I did say that this is a temporary system I use for other general computing, my plan was to always build an i7 system however I wanted to see what the 1080ti can do with a ryzen 5, as technically there shouldn't be much bottleneck at 1440p and above, but it seems like there is.

 

8700k system has been ordered now so it's all good. I ll buy a 1060 for this ryzen system and let my gf play Sims on it, that'll do lol
