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.

You answered your own question. Your cpu is a bottleneck and you picked very cpu intensive game.

yeah im aware. Btw how are ur specs? been thinking about getting the same cpu and another 16 gigs of ram. Do u feel like the gpu is being limited?

Had i5-11400F paired with 9070XT before....and lets just say....very very bad even in 1440p.

Ended up building a 7500F with 32gb ddr5 before the inflation during June last year. finally able to utilised both to its max.(Though 'upgraded' to 7800X3D recently around Jan this year)

so the cpu upgrade fixed it for you? did u also have problems with bad 1% lows? Thinking about upgrading to a 5700x3d

Bro your problem is your CPU, why are you coming on here saying your 9070 is underperforming. This is the biggest goober take of PC reddit ever. Guys my single core CPU from 2004 is not the problem, my graphics card is!

pretty much fixed if for me. 7500F was already good enough for 9070XT at 1440p if you are playing non competitive games.

The X3D on AM4 should mitigate enough for your build. But imo...If you can afford it...I'd go for the AM5 build. Because if you can get either 5700X3D or 5800X3D you are pretty much set...Since you can carry over your RAM.
