What are you missing ? I’ve watched videos with people with the same exact CPU I have same exact amount of ram and same exact 1080. Playing the same games that I am talking about and get more frames . It’s not like I’m playing better games than them I’m playing the same games that I see in the video with my same rig because I obviously looked it up to see what I should be expecting and I’m not getting nowhere near what they are getting. If you look up an i5 6600k and a 1080 witj 16Gb of Ram on youtube plenty of benchmarks with games running over 100 FPS . Even modern warfare

I seen people with the same CPU get more frames than me like I know it’s a bottleneck of course it’s just Why don’t I get over 100 frames like them on the same games

Any recommendations to try? and which temps am I more worried about CPU or the GPU? What is crazy in games like rust the cpu be at like 80% and the GPU about the same. Then like Warzone cpu 100% all times and then GPU from 60% all the way to 90 some % usage. I understand that my CPU might be bottlenecking it a bit but I still feel it should do better than a 1060 in all aspects. I’ll try other games like you said though

I did the DDU. Games like Modern warfare , Rust, Ark, GTA V . Like I said I tried the same settings when I first got it because obviously I just wanted to see how big of a jump in straight up performance it would get even at the same settings. And it was basically the same FPS. In games like modern warfare I was on medium before with 1060 and I would get like 60 to 80 frames sometimes 90. Just depends on where I was in warzone . Same with the new card. The crazy thing is if I max out the settings I still get the same exact FPS anywhere from 60 to 90 and then like 120 in gulag

No I made sure not that

Forgot to say that but yes I did a clean uninstall with it and then downloaded the newest drivers again

So I upgraded graphics cards from a 1060 3gb to a ROG Strix gaming 8gb card. In the same games I played before even at same settings I get the same FPS . I even tried upping the settings to use more GPU to see if that helped FPS still the same. So did I just waste money? I get there maybe a bottleneck somewhere maybe even CPU but I still feel going up in literally 5GB difference in the cards and the 1080 definitely faster that even with a bottleneck I should still get a least a bit better performance. i have a i5 6600k the 1080 16GB DDR4 ram 750W power supply

Okay so I might buy the 1080 now cause I feel that’s a decent deal for the card right . And then use it for now but later upgrade my CPU too. Any suggestions for a good match for that 1080

So you don’t think it would help at all? It would just make my system worse and have frame drops I don’t have now ?

Hey guys . So I have a 1060 3gb right now . My friend is selling is ROG Strix Gaming OC 1080 8GB card for like 350. Would it be worth upgrading to that? I have a i5 6600k 16gb of DDR4 ram. I am looking to play all games maxed out and achieve over 120 for my monitor . Games like Modern warfare have been giving me trouble having to lower the settings . Thanks for the help in advance

Yeah I’ve seen them for like 100 and some new but I’m gonna try to see if I can find used ones to see if it’s any cheaper where would be a good place to look

Gigabyte 970 I believe

what would be the better bet between upgrading the motherboard and then a new CPU or just getting the 8350. For money/performance ratio like the best bang for buck per say

How could I tell if the motherboard is decent ? And how would I go about overclocking and knowing if it’s safe
