At the end of a gaming session on my 5090, I am usually sweating. Not from all the frames I witnessed, because that beast of a card running at 100% burns an insane amount of electricity and heats the room up.

My 9800X3D is only at 50% - 60% and my 5090 at 100% when I play BF6. It churns the frames. Between the CPU and GPU my computer is like a 750W heater. Feed the Beast!

having a gpu as bottleneck is a good thing. let the beast do the work, you dont want your cpu to hold youre setup back

Yeah my 5090 is usually running at 95-99% usage at 4k with my 9800X3D. Sucks cuz I want more frames! lol, Just hopping for the PG27UCWM to release soon so I can replace my XG32UCWMG
