My PC is getting on a little, it’s running on an i7-4790k, 16gb ddr4, and a GTX 970. right now, it’s struggling some in most games even though I don’t play any triple A titles. What would be a sensible upgrade that wouldn’t get totally bottlenecked by the CPU?
In most games I’m playing the CPU is pinned at around 25% while my card is maxed at 100% 3d and vmem usage so I’m fairly sure it’s just my card that’s the main limiting factor.
So I thought about that, which was why I got it actually. An upgrade for that PC that would be a good stopgap on my next.
I just ended up giving that PC to my son and building a new one entirely, bought another 3060 for it as a good stopgap LOL
