Hi Guys,
As per the title; these two pictures show my CPU utilisation over the indicated periods of time whilst playing Battlefield 1. CPU usage is consistently in the mid-high 90% range, the big dips being round / server changes. I've recently been considering a GPU upgrade but I've begun thinking that the potential performance increase would be bottle-necked by the CPU.
Currently running Phenom X6 1100tBE OC @ 3.8ghz


Do you guys reckon this is a bottleneck and, if so, what would be a sensible upgrade with plenty of headroom?
Thanks
