Hey all I’m not super familiar with Intel chips so hoping someone might be able to give me some advice.
I’m pairing the above chip with a AMD RX6700 XT which sits around 60% usage.
When I boot games during the initial load they will freeze for 5ish seconds.
However my CPU is sat at 100% usage (both are while gaming) and I’m trying to understand if I have a bit of a bottleneck.
At the moment I have 16GB or RAM but that will be going to 32 tomorrow.
And I know the i5 is somewhat old but reading online it should still hold up pretty well.
All of this is playing COD which I know is a CPU heavy game.
Task manager also looks good in the respect of programmes using the CPU
Any advice would be great!
its a 6 year old 2.8 ghz 6 core 6 thread cpu trying to play a game made for a modern console running an 8 core 16 thread cpu. your chip is way too weak, a good bit below the recomended settings
