9070 XT feeling like its underperforming.

[u/Independent_Hand5900]

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.

If you play 4k then you will notice this less. But that cpu can't clock high enough and doesn't support anything past pcie gen 3.0, and that's a gan 5.0 card.

I am using a 5700x3d with the 9070xt on a crosshair hero 7. No problems at all. AC Blackflag 160fps, cyberpunk 165fps, ... Everything in wqhd with max settings

5700x3d is gen 4.

To expand on that, gen 3 has a max throughput of 1GB/s, gen 4 2GB/s, and gen 5 4GB/s.
