I have a favour to ask of any 3900X owner who also has a 1080 Ti, Doesn't matter which model, That also plays Destiny 2.

I currently have a 2700X in my rig with a 1080 Ti and I'm fairly certain my CPU is majorly holding back my GPU as my GPU usage most of the time is very low at my chosen res of 1080P in this title which is my main game, Average of 50%.

Set the game to 1080P "Highest" preset, Frame rate cap and v-sync off, Then set ambient occlusion to off, Any and all shadow options to either off or their lowest, Motion blur to off and then go to this location in the dreaming city and look at the wall, Chamber of Starlight Lost Sector and then report back your FPS and GPU usage pretty please.

Today’s age 1080p is going to hold most cpu’s back even a 9900k at 5ghz+.

1440p is a must and due to bottlenecks from experience you will be seeing near on the same framerate as 1080p. My old 1080Ti didn’t have much issue driving destiny 2 at 1440p 144hz with high-ultra presets.

I can test it for you with 3700X and 980ti at 720p lol.
 
I wouldn’t have thought a 2700X would bottleneck a 1080Ti in D2, have you tried loading Afterburner and turning on the monitoring for CPU/GPU?

Do it.1440p is the new 1080p.

I'm actually very happy with my 24" 1080P 240Hz Asus monitor, I honestly don't want anything bigger/higher res, The only time I'll be upgrading is when I can get an IPS version of what I have now.

According to both GPU-Z and Afterburner, GPU usage average is 47% after 10 minutes and CPU average is 23%.

What's your RAM set at? And, what fps are you getting?

You can get an IPS 165hz 1440p like what I have :p.

Quite a lot better visually for a minimal performance drop due to bottlenecks.

However if you are set, in terms of raw 1080p fps you’d be better off with something like a 9700/9900K with a 5ghz+ overclock.
 
i've got a 3900x @4.35ghz and a 2080ti stock (kind of a 1080ti but with max oc applied to the card) at 1440p and i'm capped at 144fps gsync enabled if i remove the cap easy 200fps+ but the coil wine from my card is horrible, max setings in game and d2 looks stunning

@Dicehunter Could you show that spot on the map.?

edit: nvm found it...

192fps

Thanks for your efforts, Got into the same position as you, Also selected a res slightly lower than yours as I couldn't get your exact 1600x675 res to work and even going lower in res I'm "only" getting around 140, Even tried lower settings and it's definitely a CPU bottleneck, Time for Ryzen 3000 me thinks.

Something wrong with your 2700. Mine at stock does not bottleneck my 5700XT. I don't play D2, tho. PUBG and Planetside2 i've tried so far. But, my RAM is set at 3466MHz CL14.

ok maybe not bottlenecking but there were occasions where gpu usage would drop below 90% or less in destiny 2 also mine was with slower memory 2866
 
Simple answer - yes it is bottlenecking the GPU albeit it is more down to the engine seemingly not "geling" well with the Ryzen 1st gen (1000/2000 series) CPU's.

Titan spawn for example on my 2700x was around 65-70FPS (1440p/ Max settings). On a 3900x it is north of 90fps. (This is with a 2080Ti).

Dreaming city is way higher but there are parts of the game which will still see dips way below what the GPU is capable (Tower).

Note - FPS during strikes is MUCH better than running around in the open world. Most likely down to the instancing.
