Hi ya, Im running an i5 4670k @4.1ghz on all 4 cores and a GTX 1080. 16Gigs of 3800MHz RAM.
Im trying to figure out where my bottleneck is as im suspecting the CPU because of its age and might upgrade? I ran GPU-Z and windows performance Manager and ran Ghost recon wildlands at 3440x1440 but both the GPU and CPU were at 100%. Im unsure how i go about figuring this out?

Thanks for the replies so far. To answer Billy Sielu's questions...

What FPS are you getting? - Average of 60 FPS
What quality settings are you using in-game? - Settings mostly high and very high. Turned off long range shadows Subsurface Scattering, bloom etc...
Specifically anti-aliasing. - Temporal AA
How much of your VRAM is being used? - just over 4Gb in game
V-sync on/off? - OFF
What is the refresh rate of the monitor? - 100Hz

The talk of the new ryzen CPU's has made me think of upgrading if they turn out to be as good as they seem.
