Overloaded?
Overloaded?
The i3 9100f might cause a bottleneck with the GTX1660. For better performance, consider using a CPU that matches or exceeds its capabilities.
It would help if the CPU was lower than the GPU while gaming. If the CPU runs at 100% and the GPU isn't struggling, it should be a bottleneck. Ideally, the GPU should handle more load than the CPU. This explanation has been a while since I had to clarify it.
I'm uncertain since I often play intense games and my monitor is running at 60Hz, yet I'm not experiencing lag or stuttering.
In intense sessions I’m experiencing high CPU usage between 100-60% and GPU utilization from 70-90%.
I wouldn't consider entering the 9th generation yet, aiming for a 3100/3300x or moving to the 10th generation.
