I have a fx-6350 and a RX-460 2gb. I've looked at benchmarks of this system, and I should be getting 60-100 fps on most games. I'm getting a average of about 45. I have a 75hz monitor, and I've checked my GPU settings. The frame rates not capped.

FX CPUs are quite old. They're going to struggle in modern games.

 

What games are you trying to play?

I mostly play Skyrim and Fallout. I have looked up videos of gameplay with my specs, and it seems that most people are getting better performance than me, but then again, I dont know how reliable they are. I mainly want to make sure that its my hardware holding me back before I upgrade.

 

Do you think a ryzen 5 2600x would be a good upgrade?

What resolution do you game in? How much RAM is in your PC and what is the speed of the RAM? Dual channel(2 sticks)?

perhaps the benchmarks you saw are using overclocked components, different resolutions/graphical settings or maybe a different OS to you. These are just suggestions and I might be wrong

My Setup

Intel® Core™ i5-4590||Asrock Z97 Extreme4||8GB HyperX Fury 1600MHz DDR3||EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti HYBRID GAMING||NZXT H700i Matte Black/Blue||WD Green 240GB SSD||WD Blue 2TB HDD||Corsair CX550M||ASUS VG248QE 24" 144 Hz 1080p||Corsair Hydro Series H60 (2018)||Corsair K70||Corsair Gaming GLAIVE RGB||HyperX Cloud Stinger||Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

My resolution is 1920 x 1080. I have 16gb of RAM, running in dual channel 1600 MHz each.

There's your answer right there. DDR3-1600 RAM will significantly lower your performance in games.

Post the videos you looked at.
