Are there CPU-bound games anymore?

ARMA 3 (old, but still played by many) is CPU/RAM based.

 

Prior to a recent upgrade (month ago) I was getting 29-45 (avg.) FPS in game, not uncommon. I was running i7-2600K/16GB RAM/GTX 1060 OC (6GB).

 

I upgraded to a i9-9900k/16GB RAM (DDR4 3200)/same GPU and I was getting 70-130 (avg.) FPS. I added a new MSI 2070 Super and it made zero difference to my FPS.

I think Flight Simulator is pretty CPU bound from what I recall.

 

At home it barely taxes the CPU, maybe 30% wether it's a dense city or in the desert.

The GPU on the other hand, it's taking a beating :)

 

Some games display 100% CPU usage but upgrading or overclocking yield no real gain, like the last assassin's creed. I thought they were CPU bound, but going from an OCed 9700k to a 10900k with the same 2080 made me gain like 2 or 3 fps at best.

 

So yea, GPU bound all across the board.
