bottlenecking affecting refresh rate

[joshd22]

 

hello,

just yesterday got myself a 144hz monitor and literally its god status, ez peekers advantage and all that.

problem is that i have a 1080ti and a 6600k

and those are perfectly fine combo for 60-75hz, i was told.

(rainbow six siege is the culprit mostly, csgo is 95% perfect)

 

dont play much else, otherwise VR. (rift)

and my 6600k is overclocked to 4.7 stable water cooled

but i assume that im having a cpu bottlenecking my gpu issue, because i can easily get over 200 frames, but my cpu is pegged at 100% usage and my gpu chillaxes at 40-60%.

i do get very consistant frames around 120-144 depending but im sure this is the cpu not being able to keep up.

i have g sync and v sync on.

ive tried max graphics and crap graphics.

any other suggestion?

i was looking at the 8700k because its a major beast and ive been having minor problems with vr frames aswell.

so i hope this is just the cpu being a little slow. or maybe core count? its ok for now, but its kind of annoying to have this monitor and that gpu and everyone and everything told me no bottleneck should be present.

i achieve the framerates, theres just microstutters and minor tearing/artifacting happening, i cant really explain it but it annoys me to no extent. 

its absolutely playable but i just kind of needed some help

Why not get a 6700K?

 

The 6600K is definitely bottlenecking your GPU.

then you dont need to upgrade. Sure you will hit even higher frame rates, but

will stay. I'd say limit your frame rates to just under the monitor's refresh rate (140 for example), RivaTunerStatisticsServer or RTSS, which comes bundled with MSI Afterburner, can do that. The reason why to set a limit below refresh rate is to ensure Gsync kick in all the time. You dont need Vsync in this case, so turn it off.

@Crunchy Dragon i dont really see the point in that since its not really that much better, but it does have more threads and is a little faster but will it really balance it out more? or should i just be safe and get the 8700k? because id need a new motherboard and a bigger aio.

 

and no, ive tried rivatuner. i do not like that software lol. i dont want tons of bloat all over the place. 

 

my main problem is that my cpu was doing perfectly fine, even killer when i had a 60-75hz monitor.

 

and as soon as i used my 144hz monitor, (by lenovo, VA panel, overdrive absolutely sucks and 8ms response time might be the culprit, cause the pixels go crazy when i turn it to 4ms which is AN ADVERTISED FEATURE OF THE MONITOR!!)

it started with this almost microstutters (not all the time but noticeable)

dropping frames i guess?

maybe tearing?

 

but i can only assume this is cause of 100% cpu usage.

 

should i try overclocking it a bit more or overclocking the gpu more?

 

maybe turn g sync off?

fixed it mostly. my cpu cache ratio was pretty low for some reason. 

 

that, and i adjusted voltages and some graphics settings.

 

note - impossible to get 144fps in gta v lol
