Hey all I’m not super familiar with Intel chips so hoping someone might be able to give me some advice.
I’m pairing the above chip with a AMD RX6700 XT which sits around 60% usage.
When I boot games during the initial load they will freeze for 5ish seconds.
However my CPU is sat at 100% usage (both are while gaming) and I’m trying to understand if I have a bit of a bottleneck.
At the moment I have 16GB or RAM but that will be going to 32 tomorrow.
And I know the i5 is somewhat old but reading online it should still hold up pretty well.
All of this is playing COD which I know is a CPU heavy game.
Task manager also looks good in the respect of programmes using the CPU
Any advice would be great!
st there are budgets, wait for one, the 12gen i5 or 9gen i9 are fine if you pay like me the other day 300€ for z390 mobo 32 gb ddr4 3200 and i9 9gen k version. i saw last week other offer for an equal setup for 250.
