Here two distinct setups are handling a 10850k, sharing a similar architecture as yours. The main distinction lies in higher clock speeds and additional cores. Your concern about CPU under 100% utilization is valid, but it likely isn’t a major issue for this particular game, as your frame rate isn’t significantly affected by CPU binding.
Maybe a patch would help because the benchmarks I checked are putting more strain on the CPU. As I mentioned, for MW2 you're already near the limit with 1440 native rendering. When you're CPU-bound, you're just dropping from 100 fps to 99 fps for each frame—about 18% of the time.
Consider upgrading your motherboard and CPU. You can switch to a different CPU while staying on the same motherboard.
