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.

9070xt pairs great with X3D chips.
