Processor runs smoothly with an i5 13600k at stable speeds. Motherboard is Asus B760-f, RAM is DDR5 Vengeance 6000Mhz with 64GB. GPU is 3090 FE with a slight performance boost. PSU is NZXT Gold 1000W AIO, case is NZXT Z53 M.2. Monitor supports 1440p at 165Hz. CPU temperature stays between 35-37°C, GPU between 36-38°C. CPU load stays around 50-58°C, GPU load 60-65°C. Latest drivers and Windows 11 Pro are installed. Previously I had a 1080 before this upgrade, achieving 200-300 FPS in ZPS with minimal graphics settings. Now I’m getting 200-280 FPS on the same settings. The discrepancy is noticeable. Task Manager shows under 20% usage for both CPU and GPU. This seems unusual since a 3090 FE should outperform a 1080 without optimization. Playing Zombie Panic Source at lowest possible graphics settings, Nvidia prioritizes performance.

It seems the CPU struggles to match the 3090's demands, causing performance drops. Even older titles may face problems if cards move too quickly for their processing speed.

Based on @Zando_'s comments and the minimal CPU usage, it seems the game runs without multiple threads. Your CPU might be the main constraint, likely due to the old game engine.

It's a source game, probably with two cores at full capacity. The 3090 seems relaxed since the game isn't very demanding visually. About 14% CPU usage per core suggests two threads are being heavily utilized. In low power mode it's slowing down because it doesn't get enough load. FPS are lower than on the 1080, which had to push harder.

You can simply return the 13600k if needed.

The 13600k stands out as one of the top gaming CPUs available today. It's hard to ignore the performance limits you might face occasionally.

There's not really anything wrong, per se, that would necessitate you returning that CPU. Unless you absolutely want to get 300+fps in that particular game.

Consider revisiting your 1080 settings if you mainly engage with that game, with a few modern titles as well.

You're right, I focus solely on this game. What can I help you with?

I don't recommend doing what I'm about to say. However, for a simple, older game, the best way to boost speed is using a CPU with the top single-core performance.
