Whenever I look at my task manager, it always shows that the bottleneck isn't my mid GPU, it's always my CPU that's running at 100% capacity and causing strain. As far as I can tell minecraft is a lot more of a CPU heavy game, but the CPU I have and the CPU say feinberg has with a Intel Core Processor i7-8086K (according to fandom.com) are not that different from each other (as far as I can tell). I'm on lower settings, sodium, everything. Why is my game so straining on the CPU? Is there a way to transfer any of that strain to my GPU that seems like it's not actually doing all that much? What should I upgrade?
