Hey guys,
Specs first...
CPU - Intel i7 9700K
Motherboard - ASUS PRIME Z390 - A
GPU - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070
RAM - 32GB Corsair Vengeance
Cooler - Corsair 240mm water cooler
PSU - Corsair TX750M
So I game and stream (who doesn't these days) from the one PC. The main game I play is Ghost Recon Wildlands and the recent Ghost Recon Breakpoint, when playing my CPU usage is up at 80% or even higher. Which leaves the streaming software (OBS) with little CPU to use and causes dropped fps in the stream. Game fps isn't affected.
CPU usage image at the bottom.
My friend has a 8700k and is at 40-45% CPU usage and we have almost exactly the same rig. Is this a 9700k thing or am I missing something?
The CPU runs at that same high percentage with everything else closed and just the game open. Even with games like PUBG the CPU usage is really high, around the 70% mark.
The temps are fine, no more than 50-55.
Surely something else must be wrong for an 8700k to be only used half as much as a 9700k? I know it has 12 threads to my 8 but surely that doesn't affect double the CPU usage?
He says more games are optimised for an 8700k rather than the 9700k?
Can anyone shed any light on this at all?
Thanks guys,
Andy.
