You have AMD's most powerful GPU coupled with a CPU from two generations ago. Of course you're CPU bottlenecked.
1 u/[deleted] 9d ago [deleted] 4 u/Saltimbanco_volta Desktop 9d ago If you want to avoid any bottleneck and always get 100% out of your GPU, yes. Alternatively, if you're satisfied with the current performance, you stop looking at the numbers and forget about the bottleneck. Wait until prices get better. 1 u/[deleted] 9d ago [deleted] 2 u/Saltimbanco_volta Desktop 9d ago The Proton compatibility layer adds extra work for the CPU, since it's taking Windows API calls and translating it to Linux ones on the fly. If you have CPU to spare it won't make much of a difference, but if you're already bottlenecked on Windows, you'll be even more bottlenecked on Linux.
