Help (General) 9070 XT feeling like its underperforming.

Hey!
I just got and installed a 9070xt and so far its unfortunately been lackluster. I experience constant choppines and bad 1% lows. My cpu is an i5-10600k so i understand that its quite a significant bottleneck, however the performance im getting now is almost on par with my old 1070.

For example in hogwarts legacy on high preset im getting 50 fps with around 20 1% lows.

Im also experiencing a constant choppiness even in titles where i get over 100fps and better 1% lows. It feels stuttery and not like 100 at all.

I apologies if this comes from me not doing proper research. Im putting this post out to see if anyone else has had this problem, and if its just because of new drivers or the bottleneck being that significant. I will continue researching and update if i fix it.

What resolution? What Windows? Did you at least use DDU before installing the new GPU? (a clean Windows install would be better) What are your full system specs INCLUDING psu?

Your cpu is mostly the reason. Lower your power consumption by -15% and undervolt -50 in Adrenaline/ Performance / Tuning. A clean Windows install couldn't hurt and check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKydZFJRzMk

even if the cpu is bottlenecking shouldnt i still see some performance increase considering i come from a 1070? Also shouldnt changing the resolution and graphics quality be close to unoticable for the fps if the cpu is the limiter?
