Hysterical

Found a Geekbench result that uses the same motherboard, seems like it could actually be X570. https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/14947371

I don't know to be honest but I should have enough. It happens in all games including CSGO and I know for sure I have enough RAM and VRAM for that and I never game with big background processes

I only did that for a few minutes to test whether it would fix the stuttering becuase some people said it might be a CPU bottleneck so I did that to take some load off the CPU and put more stress on the GPU. In the video it's set to 100%. Also no major background processes except for discord/steam and the usual stuff but no chrome or something big like that

I am at my wits end. I upgraded from a 750Ti to a GTX 1060 and it works great except for this. There's stutter in all games. Like I'd be playing BF1 on ultra at 1080p at 90 FPS and it will just stutter for a split second. This happens in every game. Example: https://youtu.be/EW3gfoHosgs My specs: Intel Core i5 4690, 8GB RAM, MSI GTX 100 6GB OC, ASRock B85M-HDS, Seasonic S12-II 520W, Samsung 850 Evo 250GB, Seagate 1TB HDD + WD Blue 500GB Things I have tried: Different drivers (clean install with DDU) Changing settings in NVIDIA Control Panel including Maxium Pre-rendered Frames to 1, Shader-cache off, V-Sync on and off, Maximum performance, Adaptive and Optimal Power and different combinations of those Turning off my OC Installing the games on my SSD instead of on my HDD In BF1 setting resolution scale to 125% to take some load off the CPU and stress the GPU more What do I do???? My motherboard BIOS is also updated and temps are fine. GPU max around 73 CPU max around 70

Here's the deal: This week I upgraded to a GTX 1060 (specifcally a MSI GTX1060 6GT OC). It works pretty well but sometimes stutters during gameplay. Setting Maximum Pre-rendered Frames in NVIDIA Control Panel to 1 helped but didn't completely fix it. I did a clean driver install using DDU and that also didn't help. Now I have installed the drivers that came with the GPU (older drivers provided by MSI) (376.09) and my 3DMark score actually improved by 200+. I have tried to play BF1 but it requires a newer driver and to be honest I don't want to update since performance will go down. Now about the question: While doing my research I stumbled upon a review of this exact card. In the review the guy added a GPU-Z screenshot (for overclocking and stuff). I decided to compare it my GPU-Z and found that our BIOS versions differ. Once I looked for GPU BIOSes here: https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/ I found that for my card there are two BIOSes. I have the older one (86.06.0E.00.68) and the review guy has the newer one (86.06.0E.00.A7). Should I update the BIOS to see if it will help with my issues (and maybe improve the card because I'm sure there's a reason for there being two versions)?

Hmmm I guess I'll wait then thanks maat

I'm aiming for high settings though which should be possible with a 1060 and i5 right? It's just that I can only get one of them now

I would be pretty hard to enjoy a game that stutters because of bottleneck haha

Wouldn't the GPU get bottlenecked pretty badly by the i3 though??

Yeah that won't do for TW3, ROTTR and FH3 which are the games that I wanna play this holiday

I checked the prijsontwikkeling (lol) but it seems like the card has always been around 350eu so that's why I'm twijfeling about getting the 1060 6GB FE for 320 since I don't think that the prices are going to drop a lot more than they have already done edit: graph http://prntscr.com/fyz7hp

Yeah that's kind of out of the question sice I'd also have to get a new motherboard and RAM and I simply don't have the money for that...

My system now: Intel Core i3 4130 GTX 750TI 8GB RAM and I just upgraded case and PSU (from 300 to 520W) to make room for a new GPU. I don't have a ton of money and I want to get a Haswell i5 (used) and GTX 1060 6GB. Summer break just started so I have a lot of time to game now and I've been wanting to play Witcher 3 and Rise of the Tomb Rader but I can't run them smoothly at decent settings. The problem: I don't know what to upgrade first now. I can get a used Haswell i5 for about €130 and the 1060 6GB is finally in stock (Founders Edition from NVIDIA) for €320. I don't know if the prices are going to drop or if that's the regular price of a 1060 6GB (Netherlands). I know for sure the i5 prices are pretty fixed. HELP ME OUT

Sup my brothers, I have a question. I have my main rig with an AMD A10-6700 APU, 350W FSP PSU, 8GB 1866Mhz RAM and a GTX750Ti So a few days ago my dad walks in with a PC he got from work which they weren't gonna be using anymore. It's a custom build PC with an Intel Core i3 4130, 4GB RAM, ASRock B85M-HDS motherboard, GT220, and a shitty idk branded 450W PSU. It's now collecting dust and I was wondering if maybe I could turn it into my new main rig. It has a few issues though. The CPU Fan is making a grinding noise at startup so it has to be replaced. Sometimes, I'd say 1/10 times it freezes on the BIOS Splash screen but when I hit the reset button on the case it works fine. Would it make a better gaming PC if I were to put my own PSU, RAM, and graphics card in it than my main PC now? The main reason I want to revamp this system is because the CPU I'm currently using is a bottleneck in CS:GO, and since single-core performance of the i3 is better it would probably be a overall better performer.
