Problem completely dismissed and solved by not buying into dumb lights.
Opinions differ. And the OP's issue is a software issue.. relying on software is like relying on a drunk monkey to drive you 70 miles to your destination.
Less flash & more substance grants the biggest gains.
Some wisdom.
The tape is wrapped round the stick but some hanging off to connect to the GPU. some hanging off the shroud so they both stick and mould to the GPU shroud creating a cleaner and stronger hold.
You must not know about history.
The HD 5870 was AMD's first DX11 GPU which came out in 2009.
GTX 480 was nVidia's idea of what a DX11 GPU should be, it came out in 2010.
AMD's answer was HD 6K series which had no effect on Fermi taking the lead as heavier games came out using more DX11 features.
The HD 7970 set in stone what AMD was capable of and was a great architecture.. still is in fact.
Generally a non K 2600 is a good CPU still, you can throw anything up to perhaps a GTX 1070 on to it before the CPU is a problem game wise.
For anything else it is a monster of a CPU, every day web browsing ETC.
