I brought this system I the GPU with some games will only be utilized 70-65 percent and i thought the i7 12700k would boost up if that's a thing to get the GPU to 98 percent usage because I thought out of anything the bottleneck would be the 3070ti operating a 100 percent. and the i7 chilling.

specs
rtx 3070ti
i7 12700k
b660m
32 gb ram - 3600
850watt power supply

what games specifically

raw quartz Oct 12, 2022, 2:37 AM

#

squad and msfs

void chasm Oct 12, 2022, 2:37 AM

#

atleast regarding squad, given the low(er) system reqs, low gpu usage can be expected

#

the cpu is only opperating a 80 watts even tho intel says the base wattage is 125

void chasm Oct 12, 2022, 2:38 AM

#

it wont always use 125w

#

games can only use so many threads

#

ok thanks

void chasm Oct 12, 2022, 2:38 AM

#

you might be fully loaded on the threads its using

#

as for MSFS, that should be gpu bottlenecked witha 3070ti unless your at like 720p

#

yeah when im flying low over a city it will drop in usage

void chasm Oct 12, 2022, 2:39 AM

#

/shrug could make sense since its using more cpu resources
