Bottleneck or what wrong with this build?

[Grasshopperr]

Need more thoughts on this case please!

SPEC Operating System: Windows 11 Pro 64-bit (10.0, Build 22000) (22000.co_release.210604-1628) CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5650 @ 2.67GHz (12 CPUs), ~4.1GHz MEM: 24576MB RAM DDR3 ECC GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 GIGABYTE AORUS PSU: EVGA 600 W1, 80+ WHITE 600W, 3 Year Warranty, Power Supply 100-W1-0600-K1 MB: ASUS P6T WS PRO

ISSUE My GPU and CPU in CS2 match work load is about 30%-50% all the time, my fps as you can see is about ~100 with this spec. What im missing in this situation is this CPU with this OC bottlenecks the GPU so hard? Or something else i missing here?

***Sorry for my bad english and mistakes first post in this forum, if you can help please write your thoughts about this situation. I can give more information if needed.

My guy that platform is from the year 2010.

and?

I dunno, there's about 14 years of technological advancement in a newer CPU?

Why doesn't my Pentium 3 play Starfield?

Where you find a motherboard that accommodates an old CPU with a relatively new GPU?
Doesn't the RTX requires PCIe4 slot? Did they have PCIe slot 14 years ago?

Hopefully @beers can confirm this as my Hardware knowledge has declined in recent years, but to my knowledge:

Your motherboard is 15 years old:



Your BIOS is according to your screenshot not the latest that ASUS provided (version 1205 is the last one, which was in 2011)

The PCIe slots on the board is 2.0, and your GPU is 4.0, which I assume that's the bottleneck if the card is being slowed to match the 2.0 (which is 4x less faster than 4.0)

At this point, you should really be looking at a new board/cpu/memory IMO

PCIE is usually backwards compatible, with a few corner cases of specific combination incompatibilities.

I was surprised there's a couple x58 w/3070 comparison videos, looks like you could double performance depending on the title with a midrange upgrade. Also keep in mind the Xeon is also around 4.1 GHz in the video.

I'd say more but I have a feeling that OP doesn't care and will simply declare the CPU to be 'fine'.

I should throw my 3090 onto my old X58/W3690 build and see how it performs.
