Your CPU is around 9 years old now and while it's had a good run its definetly time to replace it especially if you want to get the best out of your shiney new GPU.

6700 XT Owners Thread
- Thread starter sgoaty
- Start date
Mines plugged in and running. Tried a brief unigine heaven run, and it's running better than my 1070ti as expected. Not tried any games yet, but don't play many modern games. Big thing would be loading up asgards wrath on my quest 2, but I don't have the room yet.
Guess so, doubt it's the TV but you never know. Works fine with the previous card and has a decent cable that does 4k @ 120HZ.
My CPU is even older, but CPU usage didn't go over 60% that often when gaming with a GTX1070, so I was hoping that it wouldn't be too bad.
Its a 2700K with an overclock to 4.6GHz, I think it benchmarks about the same as an i7 6700.

Thats the thing tho, gpu usage can be pretty high, and the cpu load can be not too bad on some games. Like i said i know the issues and why its happening, just kinda thought a bit of brute force on some games might have worked like if a game was ok before i could bump aa up maybe or turn on ssr.
Not a true gamer among you, shocked and appaled I am.
I do plan on trying a few things from EA now they're on gamepass, but finding time and hard drive space
. Squadrons and jedi fallen order are on the list, once I've completed dragon age origins awakening (never played it, just finished origins again, about to move onto the new campaign).Lol, not a good start for these GPUs, 1x with display output issues, 1x with stuttering (though with an old CPU) and another DOA and the last person can't be arsed to plug it in.
Will have time and patience tonight to fix and get on with hardcore gamingYou have Hyperthreading though and game at 4K so you might just about get away with it but that said its definetly time to start considering a new CPU.
What resolution and refresh rate do you game at? You've got me worrying now.
I am 4K 60Hz and I'd put VSync on. So I think the unbalanced system would work pretty well for me, a lot more GPU required than CPU!
But that remains to be seen.
I also dont know if RAM speed is a concern? Like you I'm on 1600MHz.
It is definitely being considered!
Unfortunately new CPU means new CPU, board, and RAM, new OS install, blah blah, and I am somewhat lazy.
Sign yourself up for an ubisoft subscription for a month and download the division 2, set to Ultra and bask in the beauty.
People will disagree but it’s still the number one baseline for me, the artwork, the size of the world and the graphical fidelity levels are just stunning to look at.
If you can get 90fps in that game at 1440p you know your new card is working properly.
According to techpowerup's relative performance summary you can expect around double the performance from this card. Tell your CPU to pepper its angus.
You’re no gamers guys.
If I had a card like this I’d be like:
Sad thing is, you're right! I am not much of a gamer, I don't game much at all!

This was basically me last week bahaha.
Mine has just installed fine. Not had a GPU for a long time that is shorter than my motherboard...!
even the Resizable BAR is enabled.
All seems fine with the latest drivers installed.
Interesting, what mobo do you have?
There's a beta BIOS update for mine to enable BAR on Ryzen 3000, I'm hovering over the button haha.
I feel i have a twin with the way Acme is discussing stuff, im not much of a gamer truth be told, i just use pc to watch anime and tv and films most of the day and game a few times a week with little games like mini metro haha, i do want to try a re run of gta 5, which i ran great back in the day with this cpu and 670 card on medium 1080. Then i got a new monitor 1440p which was 75hz. Then a 780ti which i thought ran amazing on the 1080p 22in i had but then went to 1440p and meh in action or fast driving had some issues. Got rdr2, ran fine more or less on vega tho i stopped playing cos i got annoyed with the horse taking ages.
I do think id play more if i had somehow reduced some fps issues with the new card that was the plan i thought maybe the vega wasnt really the 1440p card i thought it was, tho i do admit i was bottlenecked by the cpu a little bit but things wernt too bad, just the odd game like x4 which not even ppl with the most powerful cpu can run smoothly on stations apparently.
If i can ill be upgrading cpu, mb, ram probs new psu as it really is getting on now, by xmas if not next birthday in march 2022. I think i can live with the issues till then, i havent tried all games, some might be nice.
I have division 2, that played really well when i tried on my vega56 near maxed out and no issues at 1440p, shame i didnt have staying power and actually play it much.
