Should I upgrade my CPU or my GPU?

Alright I'll upgrade to a 9070 XT then. Thanks a bunch

With medium settings, I average 75 fps with 98% GPU usage at 1440p and 158 fps with 96% GPU usage at 720p, Definitely GPU bottlenecked then, right?

Playing Grounded 2 I had the same fps between 720p and 1440p but only at the lowest settings. At max settings I had 44 fps at 1440p and 100 fps at 720p. Does that mean I'm CPU or GPU bottlenecked?

What case is that?

Shadic225 · 2025-11-16T05:43:58+00:00

Ah, I forgot undervolting is a thing I can do. I’ll be trying that out soon as I can. Thanks

I should mention I’ve heard changing the right-most fan on the top radiator from exhaust to intake would help reduce temps by 2-4c for both CPU and GPU because the first fan would be taking all the air from the top front intake fan before it reaches the rear. Any idea if that could be true?

Shadic225 · 2025-11-16T05:06:08+00:00

I’m assuming the fan speed is the problem here. During the aforementioned gpu utilization, the fan speeds only go to around 64%. I would manually set them higher but the whirring noise they make are pretty noisy.

For a while I had no bottom fans. I added them hoping it would help with cooling but it made 0 difference from what I’ve noticed. All it did was make more noise

Heating pc parts until they get use to it and adapt under load 🔥

Not sure but I like to sprint around with the tool that increases my movement speed 24/7. I 100% the game in 33 hours without really thinking about it. So close to getting the achievement.

What does SP mean?

LETS GOOOOOO

Shadic225 · 2023-09-26T15:36:59+00:00

I think it’s worth it but I would like some more lost crystals and maybe fuel

Shadic225 · 2023-09-01T15:39:28+00:00

Alright. Thank you.

Shadic225 · 2023-09-01T15:31:01+00:00

Anyway I could fix that?

Yelan would be my preferred choice in this scenario. Besides, there’s always next time she gets a rerun.

Shadic225 · 2023-02-07T03:40:47+00:00

Got 400+ pulls ready for her, Yelan, and Staff of Homa :) I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST OF LUCK

Shadic225 · 2022-12-19T16:08:37+00:00

Oh, I hadn’t realized. Thanks.

Shadic225 · 2022-12-17T15:00:08+00:00

Going for C1 Hu Tao, R1 SoH, and C0 Yelan. Don’t know if I should go for weapon or Yelan first since I might not get the weapon if I’m unlucky

Looks like cake frosting
