CPU limited or eco mode?

Hey guys,

installed my new GPU yesterday and all is well. My only thing is I’m not getting much more performance than my old 4070?

could it be bottlenecked or even as my CPU is on “ECO 95W” mode?

it’s a 5900X with a 4070 ti super.

sorry, forgot details @Tetras

I tried Dead Space and Death Stranding. Im running games high / ultra at 1440p.

been looking at the 5800X3D chip, can get it for a little more than what i can get for my 5900X, just dunno if I wanna go down to 8 cores from 12??

Define not getting much more performance, you've shown the settings, but what FPS you got and are getting on each card. Most reviews suggest maybe 9% increase between the two cards.

i will need to do some more "digging" and see where im at. I disabled ECO mode for now, see how that goes.

only 9%, surely a 4070 to a ti super is better than that??

What's your GPU utilisation in game(s)? Windows game bar has an easy-to-access utilisation widget.

Msi afterburner says 99/100 percent when system is under significant game load.

Then it's not your CPU, or indeed the any other part of your system bottlenecking. The GPU is functioning as fast as it can. Sorry man.

no problem, it performs well, so, can’t complain really.

just fired up some CS2 to see how that compares to my previous card..weird, i was averaging around 320-350 fps, at 2K (yes, I know its a easy game to run).. and both CPU and GPU were about 50% utilisation and low temps when I finished..

i just dont understand it sometimes?

I doubt there’s much of a real difference between those gpus with a 5900x. I wouldn’t entertain an eco mode on the cpu...

yeah, i have put it back into its "vanilla" setting on the CPU.

Played some Valorant last night, getting 350-400+ fps, and after 2-3 hours I checked my temps and usage, and both the GPU and CPU were hardly breaking a sweat.

Well, just played some Horizon : Zero Dawn just to get an indication on performance, temps etc..

I was 150-160+ fps at 2K high detail, DLSS off and ran like butter.

Checked afterburner and yes, my GPU was at full utilisation with an peak temp of 68c and the CPU didnt break a sweat averaging mid 50c or so..

As I was going to look into under volt etc.. but with those numbers, im happy, big jump in power consumption though compared to my last card, sitting around peak at 285W :eek:

Which I realise its much these days, but damn, thats still some juice!
