For about one and a half year ago, I upgraded to a GTX 1060 6GB, 6600K, and a monitor with 1440p@144hz. whenever I play I always game at 1440p, leading to the cpu being a non-bottleneck (obviously), however recently I decided that it might be time to upgrade the graphics card to a 1080 ti (or new gen), and looking at many posts previously and heard many say that a 6600k (especially overclocked, which I already have), should NOT bottleneck a 1080ti at 1440p, which seemed great for me as I pretty much only can afford a 1080 ti and nothing else. After doing some testing with MSI RivaTuner I found out the following:
At 1440p in games like fortnite the CPU is at around 60-70% on all cores when overclocked to 4.4ghz, with medium settings (110fps)
In other games like rainbow six siege I found that the cpu instead sat around 90%, (90fps), with mostly high settings
At 1080p, however, I noticed some pretty weird things. firstly both the cpu and graphics card were about maxed, giving a decent 200fps in fortnite, but in rainbow six siege only about 110fps (both still maxed)
Still was however not the main issue that I had. You see, I was getting these REALLY annoying stutters everytime I moved around in both games. Is this a cpu issue? How can I fix this?
