Posted January 23, 2019 So I recently was given an old pc that actually runs decently. But in my opinion the 10 or so frames per second are not working for me. I recently swiched its old graphics card out with a 4gb rtx 550. The specs for the pc are as follows: CPU 2.66GHz Intel Core i7 920 Motherboard chipset Intel X58 Memory 6GB 1,066MHz DDR3 SDRAM Graphics AMD Radeon RX 550 4GB GDDR5-128-bit Hard drive 1T 7,200rpm Optical drive Blu-ray drive Networking Gigibit Ethernet Operating system Windows 10 Home (64-bit) If you can find the bottleneck in the system that would be amazing. (The reason the parts are so bad is because they were given to me from my neighbors.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 23, 2019 um, there's no simple answer here. what are you trying to do? all those parts are old. that means they're all "bottlenecks" by todays standards but if you'e just looking for the simplest, "replace this item first for hte maximum gain", than that's different. and it again, also depends on what you're trying to do. "bottleneck" isn't some magical buzzword that can jsut be slapped on anything. A bottlneck is specific description that describes when a specific part in the system is the cause of significant slowdown in performance leading to other parts not operating at full performance.

Graphics card is extremely weak and this is your bottleneck Get an RX 570 or similar they are cheap everywhere right now...and overclock your processor, buy CPU cooling if you need to, don't overspend. https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-RX-550-vs-AMD-RX-570/3925vs3924 | CPU: Core i7-8700K @ 4.89ghz - 1.21v | Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX Z370-E GAMING | CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i V2 | | GPU: MSI RTX 3080Ti Ventus 3X OC | RAM: 32GB T-Force Delta RGB 3066mhz | | Displays: Acer Predator XB270HU 1440p Gsync 144hz IPS Gaming monitor | Oculus Quest 2 VR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
