bottleneck?

[CaeBae]

Hey, I'm not savvy with computers at all, and I've been trying to run this game on 1440p with the high preset.

specs:
Core I7-6700T @ 2.80Ghz
Gtx 1070
8gb RAM
win 10

Im only averaging 45fps with really ♥♥♥♥♥♥ frame drops. Is this to be expected, or is my CPU bottlenecking me? for comparison, I can run middle earth sadow of war on high at 1440p with 55-60 avg fps and witcher 3 on ultra/high at 55-60fps as well on 1440p.

[BetelGeuse]

The game needs an update probably. Most high end computers are struggling with 60FPS right now.

[Rng.Khrono]

im having no issues i average about 80 to 100fps @ 1440p

all settings to max except AA to medium

7700k @ 4.5Ghz
16GB DDR4 @ 3333Mhz
GTX 1080ti
388.00 Nvidia Drivers

Say if your CPU reaches 100% of usage while playing ACO.

You arent bottlenecked FFS. That term needs to go away and die. The game is poorly optimized. It is much to CPU intensive. That is NOT your computer hardwares fault. It is partially their poor optimiazation in deligating tasks between the CPU and GPU.

Noob question, but how would I actually check that?

Task manager (ctrl+alt+del)

CTRL+SHIFT+ESCAPE brings it up directly

hopefully they'll patch it then.

CPU bottlenecking can result from poor optimization of code. The term is correct, it does not imply any fault on the part of the hardware.

Whilst I agree there does seem to be an issue with this game in particular. Bottlenecking is a real thing, it just isn't as simple as what you're saying, you can't just offload tasks from the CPU to the GPU and magically get better performance. There are tasks that are definitely computed on the GPU more efficiently than the CPU, but GPGPU and parallel processing don't always benefit games as much some like to claim.

[revolver-22]

no, that computer has no bottleneck at all, its just that the game is a mess and needs a patch to fix the crazy CPU usage it has.

I have i7 4790k 4.6ghz
GTX 1070 FE
16gb ram DDR3 1866mhz
win10

I get 51 fps average in benchmark at 1440p resolution the 1070 is not enough for 1440p 60fps. It is for 1080p though np. You also should have 16gb of ram if your trying to max out games especially on windows 10. Right now while IDLE i have 3.3ram being used, if I only had 8gb of ram that only leaves 4.7gb for the game, but since I have 16gb I have 12.7 gb to spare.

Also all you need to do is see if your gpu usage is not being maxed if your at 99% GPU usage and getting 45fps your CPU is not bottlenecking but if your averaging 45 fps and you don't have the game capped at 45fps and your gpu usage is low your cpu is most def bottlenecking.

Very informative reply. Thank you very much, sir.
