Shadow of the Tomb raider with my new 5800x?

Hey folks so just ran the SOTTR Benchmark with Everything maxed out @1920x1080 without RTX/DLSS and this is the result as you can see compared to my previous 1700 ive gained 42 FPS although i am now only 61% GPU bound im assuming because my CPU is to fast now for my 2070 Super? Guess il have to Wait for the 4080 to Release at the end of the Year.

The results are as expected and you gained a tidy 50% boost in fps so nothing to worry about and enjoy the new CPU :)
 
Great, it just means that your CPU is powerful enough to run a faster GPU, there is nothing to fix, unless you want to get a faster GPU, you can. You can never have a CPU that is too fast. What it mean is your CPU has 61% overhead. you could run a 3080 and your new CPU would drive it to full load, doesn't mean you have to get one.

Just enjoy your 50% performance gain. :)

Thought. Would a 3080Ti / 4080 even be able to leave the results not GPU bound with the 5800X?

Nope, if a 2070 super only needs 61% utilisation with that CPU, a 4080 would be a colossal waste of GPU power

OP needs to realise that 1080P is low demand on GPU’s in the vast majority of games now. 2070 super will be ample for 1080p for the next couple of years imo.

There's no such thing as waste in benchmarking! :)
So you're saying 4080 would be constrained by a 5800X... How about a 5950X?
 
I'm 46% GPU bound here with a 5800X and 2080Ti. Does this mean if I upgraded to a 3080 (thats ~50% faster than my 2080Ti) I would no longer be GPU bound?

If you was to get a 3080, you would become even more CPU bottlenecked at 1080p. You wouldn’t get the true FPS the 3080 is capable of pumping out.

Right, so GPU bound means its actually bound by the power of the CPU?
How about if i got the most expensive cpu and ln2 overclocked it. Would it still hold back a 3080 at 1080p?

GPU bound is the percentage of time the GPU is maxed out and is holding back the FPS. If you was to bump the res up to 1440p, you’d see that number rise dramatically.

All mainstream CPU’s will bottleneck or match a 3080 in 1080p on most games. The GPU is just too powerful. Look at the narrow gap between FPS in Humbugs CPU chart. An £800 CPU only manages 20 more FPS than your £300 one.

Getting a faster CPU isn’t suddenly going to magic up another 50+ FPS. I feel quite disappointed when I see GPU utilisations under 90%. Feels like powers being wasted.
