Hello, im pretty sure this is a Cpu bottleneck but need more confirmation from more expert people.

Judging from the screenshots i have taken from ratchet rift apart and black ops 6 i think i have a cpu bottleneck when i should be getting way more frames with the rx 7900 gre that i just upgraded from a rx 6650 xt. i kept the ryzen 5 5600 thinking it would be enough for the 7900 gre, i did google it before buying it seeing if it could be a problem after purchase but there was not enough information on the topic for me to be sure so i bought the card anyways. i have a 1440p monitor so i always game at that resolution. from the screenshots i get the bottleneck at 1440p on both games with gpu utlization at 70 to 80 and cpu from 60 to 70 per cent. although when i switch to 4k gpu is always at 99 per cent and cpu around 50 per cent. i did the method online to use intels tool to check gpu busy and average frame time and there is a deviation in those numbers at 1440p and numbers are basically equal at 4k. also attached my pc specs. Should i upgrade my cpu this black friday to maybe like a 5800x3d or something similar that wont bottleneck or save the money since i just purchased a 560 euros card and didnt want to spend anymore. or maybe i am wrong and this aint no bottlecek at all. some weird stuff did happen with black ops 6 where only windowed would go at the 120 fps it showed while in fullscreen it said 120 fps but it was choppy and it felt more like 60. i reinstalled the drivers and it fixed it so its not a driver issue. Would like some help from you knowledgeble folks on what advice you have for me in the future.

Thanks
