I just found this screenshot of The Division 2 graphic settings and just how much they impact fps...
 

 
I knew I remember Shadow Quality and Volumetric Fog were the biggest fps killers. Basically bump down the settings with long blue bars and bump up the settings with tiny blue bars. Hope this can help you improve your fps. I can see why people are claiming The Division and The Division 2 run similarly. This graph is almost perfectly catered to my graphic settings in The Division. If only I knew about it before tweaking my graphic settings manually myself.
Suit yourself. I hope the hundreds of dollars you're gonna have to dish out on a whole new PC will be worth it over paying around $100 for a used i7. Whatever makes you happy. Best of luck to you.

well........
 
 
wait for Zen 2. buying an expencive CPU right now is just a bad idea. Zen 2 is right around the corner, and you can still hold on with your current hardware untill then.

I stopped reading after your first paragraph. 
 
Good luck

Well everything checks out as normal there. You do have a few choices at this point though. The most obvious is to upgrade to an i7. Now lets say you want to go with an i7-4790 brand new. You're looking at about $208.00 - $308.00. But if you're willing to go used, you're only looking at about $98.00 - $148.00.
 
Then there's the option to go with something like an i5-4690K, which would basically give a much higher clock speed provided your motherboard allows you to overclock it to above and beyond 4.0 GHz. The reason I bring this one up is because a used i5-4690K will only run you about $65.00 - $95.00 right now, if that. But you must understand that a used K CPU has most likely been overclocked by its previous owner, but that doesn't exactly mean it's a bad thing. The trick on this one is to buy from a trusted seller.
 
Until then, you can either play on the lowest settings at the 50 fps cap you're at now or bump up a few settings to give the game some better visuals and cap your fps at 30-35.
 
The trick will be to bump up the settings that make the game look better or at least how you want it to look while taking into account exactly what each individual setting is doing to your fps. And there's a few options on the matter... You can take the time and figure them ALL out for yourself(which is actually as fun as playing the game), or you can look throughout the internet for guides on The Division 2 and see if anyone has done all the research for you.
 
Some people have been saying and claiming that The Division 2 runs very similarly to The Division, so if anything, you could follow guides on The Division for a quick start to tweaking your graphic settings to maximize that fps cap while making the game look to your liking.
 
I myself used this guide here... The Division Graphics and Performance Guide to completely master the graphic settings in The Division. I ended up with the following settings and I feel that they are very close to mastered when it comes to having them as low as possible without losing visual fidelity. The only thing that I feel is not mastered is shadows on the back of my character. When light hits the back of my character, I do notice flickering while I'm playing. It is a very tiny detail and it doesn't break the experience in any way so I stick with the setting because I know that I'm maximizing my fps in doing so and pretty much every other thing to do with Shadows in the game looks good to me.
 
These are the settings I came up with to as I said, maximize fps without losing visual fidelity...
 



 
Lens Flare and Vignette didn't fit in the last screenshot but instead of taking another screenshot I'll just inform you that both of those are OFF. If either of them you like personally you can totally turn them on and they shouldn't affect fps much at all. I personally just prefer them to be OFF.
 
Now what you can do is copy these settings exactly and see how things turn out. I can go ahead and tell you to bump Particles to as low as they'll go because those are usually CPU intensive. Volumetric Fog you may want to go as low as possible with as well because I do remember that particular setting putting a decent hit on fps.
 
Here is a video showing what I've gotten the graphics to look like and I'm also pointing out what I was talking about with the shadows on my character in this video... Forgive the quality of YouTube. While it does record at 1440p at 60 fps, it really doesn't show what the game actually looks and plays like. Especially the fps.
 
Just look at the back of my character. While the flickering is noticeable when light hits my back, I've learned to live with it. It used to bother me, now I just ignore it because as I said, my fps is a lot higher because of it.
 
Hope this helps. Good luck to getting your gaming experience to how you want it to be.

Have you tried checking to see if you have any background processes hogging your CPU? Just go into your task manager, see if anything stands out. Are you restarting the game after you change graphic settings? What is your CPU clocked at while gaming? You gotta check CPU clock in MSI Afterburner to find this out. Your CPU can also hit 70-72 degrees at the most. Just remember that you're gonna want to keep it below 60-65 degrees for the most part. In the in-game settings, do you have direct X 12 enabled?

Lower graphical settings will exacerbate CPU usage because the CPU still has to compile jobs for the GPU to do. The more frames you want out of the GPU, the more jobs in a given window of time the CPU has to make.
 
In any case, it's very likely because Ubisoft games tend to have higher CPU demands that the only way to get any more performance is to upgrade the CPU.

That's strange, I get 100-115 fps in 1440p in the original Division and I game with an i5-6400. Lower some fps-killing graphic settings.
According to Ubisoft and the Epic Store, you'll need the following minimum specifications to play The Division 2:
Intel Core i5-2200K or AMD FX-6350 CPU. 8GB RAM. 2GB GPU VRAM. At least AMD Radeon R9 270 or NVIDIA Geforce GTX 670. If you want to crank some of the settings up, it's recommended that you have the following specs:
Intel Core I7-4790 or AMD Ryzen 5 1500X. 12GB RAM. 4GB GPU VRAM. At least AMD RX 480 or NVIDIA GTX 970. You meet ALL the requirements to play The Division 2. You meet half the requirements to crank some of the settings up. Add at least 4GB of RAM and upgrade your CPU to an i7(since your mobo doesn't allow better i5's) if you wish to get the ideal gaming experience. Until then, you can at least play the game. If I were in your shoes, I'd play on a mix of medium/low/OFF graphic settings and cap your fps to say 45-55 with MSI Afterburner. If you still experience 100% CPU usage, continue lowering individual graphic settings. If that still doesn't work, you're gonna have to try capping your fps to around 30-40 until the CPU usage goes down.
 
If you must play at a higher frame rate, with your current hardware, you could try 900p resolution. Or even 720p if you really want higher fps.
 
Also, be sure to take ALL minimum and recommended system requirements with a grain of salt. Everyone has a different gaming experience because everyone sets up their PC in general in many different ways, both hardware and software wise.
 
And another thing, don't expect any type of good result in Assassins Creed games with your current hardware.

Ubisoft games are known for being heavy on the CPU for some reason or another.

you should probably go for Ryzen 3000. 
 
at 1080p, sure. but it would be the next compnent to upgrade. 

Hold your horses till Monday. Computex zen 2 will be launched + release dates 

For a little bit a i7 4770k would be enoigh but that will change, so id reccomend waiting for ryzen 3rd gen to upgrade

4 core i5s are not really good for gaming anymore as games become more multi threaded. If you do want to upgrade, the simplest solution would be an i7 on your platform. Best solution would be to wait until the new Ryzen chips are announced in a week and launched sometime in the next 1-2 months to decide on whats best for you. Even if you dont get a new new ryzen, 2xxx chips will likely fall in price as a result of the new chips so you can get a great deal on them most likely in the very near future. 

A Ryzen 5 2600 is by all means sufficient to use a GTX 1060 3GB to it's full potential, you're not being CPU Bottlenecked.
 
What is happening is that AC: Odyssey is an extremely demanding game optimized for Intel, it eats VRAM and RAM to the bunches and I'm guessing you're running your system memory in single channel which makes matters worse.
 
You should find a balance on your in game settings.

The kits containing two modules have been tested together and are guaranteed to work together so that is always the preferred route. You can add additional RAM later, and it will probably work, but not guaranteed. If you wait too long, you may not be able to find the exact same RAM that you purchased originally, and that lessens the chance of them working together.

The Core i5-4590 tops out at 3.50 GHz when 4 cores are active.

His 4590 is running exactly as Intel designed it to run.

I wouldn't think so, sounds like a hardware issue

my guess would be a bad chip, get in touch with Intel or your motherboard manufacturer 

not worrying about it. it'll power on without it and the 8 pin can provide more than enough power

it should run at 4.2, but because of thermal or vrm limits it could run a little lower

it'll automaticly if it can

The Aorus Pro is nice. Good VRM, upgraded sound with ALC 2200 codec, plenty of USB 3.1 headers/ports.

technically you can go up to the 4000+ on a good mobo, but that's kinda a waste of money
 
the sweetspot is around 3000-3200

and if you do get odd timings, set it manually to a even one

from these not those two... horrible vrms for the price
 
any of these will do (quoted from that list you saw above)
 

As many will point out, if you go Ryzen be sure to use dual channel RAM (2 sticks) and faster is better (between 2933 and 3200 is that nice place to be.) Any higher than 3200mhz will start to raise the latency and timings, so that's where most would cap for gaming.
