Game graphics settings

[xianate]

Hello everybody,

So here is my current build:

FX 8320 @ 4.5
GTX 970
EVGA 750w psu
990FXA-UD3

in my opinion I have a pretty nice graphics and a good but could be better CPU. I am interested in knowing what in game graphics settings are the most reliant on the CPU?

For the most part I just switch everything to max and it runs perfectly fine, but what could I lower that puts the most stress on my CPU?

The lower the screen resolution the more CPU you will use.

I know it sounds crazy but that the way it works.

everything

but if you really want to test the cpu then older games work best on low detail. try a timedemo of css or csgo on low details.

cpu is still decent?
