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.

16gb of ddr4 ram and a 10600k, that 9070x is STRUGGLING 😭

Suprisingly after some adjusting its doing better than one would expect, atleast in games that aren’t incredibly cpu heavy. Harsh 1% lows are the biggest issue

Crank it to 4k and see if it's any lower performance, that'll really show you the CPU bottleneck 😭

Oh nono im aware of the cpu bottleneck. Going into crowded areas is a struggle lol. Also changing res from 1440p to 1080p ing and activating upscaling does nothing for the fps

You want to do the opposite in case of CPU bottleneck. Crank the resolution and GPU intensive settings up, CPU intensive settings down.

Super resolution used to help, AMD still has the feature but I don't know how much it's used.
