Howdy
Sooooo.
I have some extra cash to possible do some upgrades should it be necessary
Current system:
Intel i7 4770k @ 4.2ghz
MSI Z97 gaming 5
2 x 8gigs ddr3 1600 ram ( 16g in total )
2 x 500g WD SSDs
2 x 1tb 7200rpm HDD
1 x Founders 1080ti GTX
1 x Meccer 2560x1440p 144hz monitor
1 x Coolermaster 212+ cooler with one fan
So my question
Lately i have been playing alot of BFV and notice my FPS idles around 70 - 110 on certain maps, with mostly on ultra, and high ( i like it on these settings and dont want to drop quality down )
Now the other thing that bothers me is the fact my CPU runs 100%, and GPU around 70 - 90%, now in my mind that means the CPU is bottlenecking and not getting full potential of my GPU.
If that is correct, then it would be worthwhile to upgrade the CPU , Board and Ram to something more newer.
As with my monitor running that res and at 144hz, to get full benefit upgrade is the correct path correct?
Please advise, or am i too FPS conscious
