Reply To: GTX 1070 bottlenecked?

I’m pretty sure your 1070 isnt bottlenecked by your 3570K. Maybe there’s another bottleneck.

Whenever im trying to find the bottleneck im using MSI Afterburner.

Install it from MSIs website and follow these instructions:

1. Open the program.
2. Click the gear to open the settings menu.
3. Go to the monitoring tab.
4. Select the following in the graph list: Power, GPU temprature, GPU Usage, FB usage, Core clock, Memory Clock, Framerate, All CPU tempratures and all cpu usages, CPU usage and ram usage.
5. Minimize Afterburner but make sure its running.
6. Play the game until the problem appears then play for another 20 seconds
7. Open Afterburner and check the graphs to see if any usage hits 100% etc.

Also, if your pagefile isnt located on an ssd and you run out of RAM that could cause hickups. If that is the case (if RAM usage goes to 100), change your pagefile location to your SSD.
