CPU Usage

[Mark1989]

I think I know the answer but I wanted some other views, I noticed an odd stutter very rarely in resident evil 2 remake and I thought could be my CPU struggling.

Anyway as that game isn't demanding I booted up division 2, used msi after burner and saw in game at times mostly when in the open world and fighting it gets too 100% and sits there now it doesn't stutter immediy but I'll maybe turn and there will be a stutter again not all the time though.

My GPU isn't at 100% at this stage, am I right in thinking this is due to my lack of cores now? I do know most newer games want more. Basically I'm thinking is the CPU now becoming the bottle neck?

As it's the 7600k I don't have the HT the 7700k has

This was my plan but no takers of my current gear

Have you tried putting it on the Members Market?

I haven't yet but I plan too, just giving it few more days on places Ive listed so far.

Of course not many people will be buying pc goods now id of thought

Yeah, PC parts is the least of peoples worries right now

Yup and it's not a priority for me to replace either with everything that's happening too tbf

games are ok on my PC

i do stutter on Watch Dogs (but so does everyone apparently)

i can Overclock mine to 4.5 (from 3.5)

If i run some games on High / Ultra i get "some" stutter but no where near 100% usage

Very strange as I would expect same, as looking at your sig didn't the 7600k replace the 6600k?

The CPU always tops out in division 2 (this causes the stutter), granted most of games I play it's perfectly fine.

I literally have items in my basket just can't decide on if I should pull trigger!
