I have an i7 9700k CPU and RTX 2070 Super GPU. When I play Fortnite my CPU is maxed out almost the entire time, ranging low 80% to high 90% often. My GPU sits around maximum 35%. I should note that I run a controller software called ICUE and Discord at the same time. Does this mean I should upgrade my CPU, or is my GPU not pulling its weight and I should upgrade that? I don’t know much about hardware, but it’s really been bugging me!

    i play 1920x1080, 240fps, 280hz, Fortnite. I tested out DL and used 4k which got my gpu up into the 80% usage range, however felt the game played at slightly less fps

      ON 1920X1080 the cpu is generally more of a bottleneck than the CPU. For instance i have a 2070 Super and a 3600x in one machine and the gpu will see higher performance gains than the Cpu at that resolution. Even though the Cpu would be considered weak by calculators in practice the Gpu gives bigger gains.
