i5-11600k versus i5-14600K

Running DCS the CPU maxes out between 40-60 %, while the GPU is usually hovering around 100%, in VR and 2d.

But in the game, the in game resource indicator keeps bouncing between CPU and GPU bottleknecked.

So, how would I know if a CPU upgrade would improve FPS?

Or is it more likely I need a GPU upgrade.

The key issue for me is there is occasional stuttering in VR.

Upgrading to a AMD platform is not an option due to cost.

Thanks for any input.

You can't upgrade just the CPU because you would need to replace the platform anyway. 12-14 gen Intel uses a different socket.

oh i realize that…but an intel upgrade would cost half of a amd upgrade
