Shakey Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 Going to go with a new PSU and the RX580. I just ran a quick test, and looking at the Performance tab on task manager, CPU is under 5%, while GPU is pegged at 100% when I'm flying around. Strange, though, the GPU is pegged a 100% even when the game is paused. Does this make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnadentod Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Well yes, it's not like the GPU gets unloaded just because you press pause for a second or two. That would be bad "logistics". This actually screams GPU bottleneck, it really does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Der Hirte is correct here, you're seeing a gpu limitation, indicating a gpu upgrade being the most sure form of performance increase. Bottlenecks are finicky. Upgrading one component may shift the balance from gpu limitation to cpu limitation, which could be just one single core maxing out, which will only be a percentage of total cpu usage. Display resolution being a big factor here. Hope you enjoy your new hardware.
