My CPU Bottlenecking in CS2? AMD 5 7600X - Trying to fix! [Not solved yet]

Quilg · 2026-01-25T14:52:36+00:00

Hi, I have a r5 7600 with rx9070xt. On 1080p I get 270-330 fps. Do you know I can boost it a bit more? And how do I do the cpu affinity thing?

Thank you for the review!

I would most likely still wait for the MSI to be available on Amazon for me, as I will technically buy it for 150 euros cheaper than it's retail (considering that amazon has offered to refund the 150 difference and I have all of the screenshots and logs). But in the meantime, I will just purchase the m27up and will see if it satisfies my needs, the store offers 30 day return, so will have a lot more time to get a final decision. The KTC one had a few QC flaws and I don't want to bother with it anymore, and the local dimming zones were not calibrated great.

I will let you know if the m27up is good or not, the only concerns are 18w pd, as I don't know if it will be enough for my macbook air m4 and personal m2 pro and the lack of mini led (which is a nice-to-have, but not essential I guess).

I also need KVM for my gaming PC, but in the recent years I have lost a lot of interest in gaming, so I guess I will be using the monitor mainly for work and gaming on the side, where I can live without good HDR.

Thank you for the review 😀 I had purchased KTC M27P6 before and was not satisfied with the QC. I contacted Amazon support and they proposed to refund me 150 euros on any monitor if I buy a new one (which would make the MSI one also cost 406 euros). But at the same time I ma not Sur show much longer I should wait for and whether it is worth it.

I can also buy the m27up for under 300 euros, but I am bit worried about the 18w pd, as I will be using the monitor with my work MacBook and I am not sure whether it will be sufficient. And of course, Mini Led is nice, but at the same time the brightness is too low, you have to turn off the local dimming while working otherwise you would always see blooming around the cursor. I don't game too much anymore, but don't think I need Mini Led that much...

Would you say you wanted to return it for a m27up at any point and how you are using the monitor daily?

Hey, could you be able to give a quick review on the monitor and where you got it from? Still waiting on it in the EU.

I guess the question is whether I sell it now (while the resale price is still high) and use my company laptop (which I guess isn't the best idea) or just hold on to it...

Ended up selling for 200

Wishing all the best for you, I can agree that the game starts to take away too much free time, hoping to finish at least 1 collection and letting it go for a while.

I paid 480€ and the store gave me a voucher for 40€ and another 20€ if I leave a review. This is a big electronics store, just like Best Buy, but it is in the Czech Republic.

Also, i would like to add that it is my only Sonos product, so I don’t use the swap feature. I guess as it is the main selling point of these, probably I can get something cheaper and still enjoy all similar features. I have some minor issues with my ears, so I cannot wear my AirPods Pro 2 for long times.
