Upgrade advice
Hey guys, I’m looking to upgrade my current pc build. (Breakdown below). My current build isn’t bad but it’s struggling due to my cpu and just how warzone itself is optimized. With that being said I’ve run an absurd amount of benchmarks to try and figure out what’s going on and basically what I’ve realized is that my cpu is getting bottlenecked because Warzone is only using some of my cpus cores and overloading them instead of dispersing the load across multiple cores. I’m averaging 100-130 fps on 1080p or 1440p My GPU utilization sits around 60% and CPU around 70%-80%. I have also tried adjusting all the graphical settings to no avail. I have the understanding that the X3D series of CPUs are fantastic for warzone. I am willing to upgrade to AM5 as I’ve set aside money. I would really appreciate any feedback or advice yall may have.
