Hey everyone, I just bought a new GPU hoping for big performance boosts, but the OSD readout shows it’s not being used well. I suspect a CPU bottleneck might be the issue. If that’s true, what budget-friendly CPU models should I look into? Thanks!
The base clock for the GTX 1660 Super is 1500+ MHz. In the image you shared it appears to be running at 675MHz, probably in idle mode where it reduces its frequency to conserve energy. Are your monitor connected to the motherboard? You might be relying on your built-in graphics instead of the integrated card. What graphics card did you have before? How much performance did it deliver?
I installed the Asus GPU Tweak to boost the GPU speed to 1845 MHz. I verified the connection between the monitor and the graphics card through a displayport. The old graphics card was the Zotac 960 with 4GB RAM. It hasn’t been used on Division 2, but I previously ran games like CSGO and League at 60+ in 1080p.
It looks like the OSD wasn’t updating correctly. I checked the in-game benchmark and got these numbers. It seems there’s no major issue now? Still, should I think about upgrading my CPU? I saw a 7600k for $140 on r/Hardwareswap and a 6700k for $220. Those prices seem reasonable for your situation.
The benchmark won't mimic real gameplay. You may notice occasional delays during actual play when multiple events occur.
