Just got a used 1080 TI.
I7-4790k
16 GB Corsair Vengeance LP 1600
1TB WD black
256gb Evo PRO
750w Evga G2
I saw this bottleneck.com website that says I do in fact have a bottleneck and I need to upgrade my CPU. I am not sure how reliable that is and if so, how bad is having this bottleneck?
The problem is that I really don't want to upgrade everything right now. I want to wait until 2121 until the next gen of support comes around. I will compare AMD and Intel at the time but right now I am leaning towards AMD simply based on the fact that the old MOBO will support future CPU for 5 years or so. Unfortunately we are at the end of that cycle so I want to wait until next gen. I don't like having to upgrade everything at once so it would be nice to get in on a new gen and then perhaps upgrade only the CPU during the end of cycle.
So anyway I am curious to know how good is my CPU still compared to the rest of my build? I only play a few games. I get high 90's% GPU usage in PUB G which is great. A couple of other games not as much and Insurgency:Sandstorm in particular has stuttering issues which I did not notice until I upgraded my GPU (from a 970)
You can see the stutter if you want in this video it might happen slightly and periodically but you can definitely see it at 6:20 when I come out of the tunnel.
Edit: I am at 1080p 144hz and I do plan to upgrade to 1440p. I hear that will demand more from the GPU creating more usage.
