Gpu or cpu?

Hey guys,

sorry for the bombardment here, but I’m going back and forth here..

better solution :

1. keep 10600k and buy 2080ti..

or

2. buy 10850k and keep my 2080s..

what will help more all round..for gaming 90% of the time.

Cheers.

Sorry, to clarify it’s a single 2080 Super.

use a 1440p monitor.

Right, something amiss here..

I just finished a session on BFV MP, 64 man, server..and i was averaging 70-80 fps at High detail 1440p :eek:

The strange thing is I checked AfterBurner when I finished around 10 mins ago, and my GPU AND CPU were not either 99-100 perecet initialized? both hovering around 70 usage, each!

Surely that one or the other should show signs of where tht weakness lies??

If you're trying to maintain higher frames on a 120/144hz screen, have you tried lowering the details purely as a diagnostic step to see if frames hold? Are you on all current drivers? Have you tried rolling back GPU drivers to see if there's a shift? etc..

Out of the options you provided before, like others have said, neither of those options seems sensible, i'd expect marginal improvements on either side.

cheers. I have, I get 80-100 on medium, latest drivers and no overclocks on the gpu / cpu?

Not familiar with the game or it's requirements, is there an expected performance level you think should be doable for your system that you're not hitting?

someone else on the forum is using a rx 580 and under same conditions is getting 80 FPS? :confused:

I get 60 to 80fps at 1440p high settings with a Ryzen 5 2600, RX 580, 32GB, 2400 RAM.

Will look into these things tomorrow guys..cheers..

one thing, I’m running a 1080p 60hz monitor, as a second display? Could that interfere?

just finished a session of EFT, now i know that it is not the worlds most demanding game, but..

my CPU and GPU usage was hitting higher usage rates (fluxuating around 80-90%), and the GPU temo peak was at 63c and the CPU hottest core was 62c..? :confused:

So why is a game like that using more resources and more efficient than a game such as BattleField 5??

Zeebedy · 21 Jun 2021 at 18:39

thanks guys, im gonna hold out for a 3080/3080ti i think. although it might be a few years yet!

I think you have an underlying issue you need to problem solve still, not sure why this thread went off the rails and switched to discussing upgrade paths for a system that should perform better than it currently is. Work from the bottom up (grab a cheap SSD if you need to), barebones install, OS, drivers and problem game, test different driver versions, major and minor, check if upgrades for your mobo bios address any specific issues you might be seeing, etc..

I have ran a benchmark test for Shadow Of The Tomb Raider.. here are the results, hopefully someone can chime in and see if that looks about right regarding performance of my 2080 Super? (NOTE: this is with DLSS turned OFF)!

also, this had my GPU pegged at 99% for the benchmark, it wasnt doing so in BF5.

Put settings on Ultra, turn on RTX and disable V-Sync and show us the results.

there we go..

Zeebedy · 22 Jun 2021 at 07:06

Again, GPU runing at 99% on the test.

According to AfterBurner.

Zeebedy · 24 Jun 2021 at 14:20

Just played BFV after updating my drivers and a fresh reboot, but nope

same issue.

Here is a screen grab straight after I played some BattleField, I still dont get why the game isnt maxing out my GPU? Its sitting at like, 70-80%?? :confused:

Zeebedy · 24 Jun 2021 at 19:27

Hi @Alan McFall, no, the CPU isnt pegged either

..

But I think your right, that this game does like more cores..I mean it runs fine, just not to its full potential..

Zeebedy · 28 Jun 2021 at 15:55

UPDATE:

here is the same benchmark for SOTTR. Using my new GPU..can someone break it down for me and explain where im lacking? GPU bound from 95% to 21% :eek:

Is it CPU again?
