Hey everyone! I'm trying to figure out if my current PC setup is experiencing a CPU bottleneck while I'm playing Warzone. Here's what I have:
- GPU: XFX RX 9060 XT 16GB
- CPU: Ryzen 5 5600
- Motherboard: MSI B350 Tomahawk Arctic
- RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8)
- CPU Cooler: Air Tower Cooler
- PSU: Be Quiet Pure Power 12M 650W
- Case: Musetex NN8
- SSD: 1TB NVME PCIe
I usually get around 100-120 FPS at 1440p regardless of my settings. I've tried adjusting both settings up and down, but my CPU usage hovers around 85-95%, with the CPU temp at 75-85%. I have a feeling it's the CPU limiting my performance, especially since I also heard that using Frame Generation in BO6 isn't ideal. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

It sounds like you’re indeed hitting a CPU bottleneck. If lowering settings doesn't give you a FPS boost, that's usually a clear indicator. Game engines can limit performance, but it’s pretty unlikely that’s the issue here. You might want to look into upgrading your CPU or consider a 5700X3D for better performance.
I’ve been thinking about the 5700X3D too! Do you know if it’ll make a noticeable difference in gaming?
