Hi, first off sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this as I wasn't sure where to put it but I'm just looking to for some advice here, basically for a while I had been running,
i5 4460
GTX 1060 6GB
8gb DDR3 Ram
1440p Monitor
and then earlier in the year I bought a RTX 2060, and honestly I think my system has been running worse since with constant high CPU usage. For example I just tried to play Dragons Dogma at 1440p and I get constant drops into the 40fps range, I've seen it go as low as the 20s, this is the case with pretty much anything I try to play. It also doesn't matter what settings I play at, I can reach higher max FPS dropping the settings but the lows don't really change and are still constant..
I have monitored usage in Task Manager and CPU usage is typically somewhere between 70 and 90% while GPU is usually around 40-70%. Now while I expect some kind of bottleneck with a RTX 2060/i5 4460/8gb Ram I'm not sure it should be this bad at 1440p so I'm wondering if it could be something else? I'm planning on upgrading when Zen2 arrives but if I could improve the situation in the meantime then that would be great, also it'd be pretty crap if I spend like £500/600 on a CPU/Motherboard/RAM and it doesn't fix it.
So TLDR, is my old i5 4460 bottlenecking my RTX 2060 at 1440p?
