Really need some professional help!

Currently I’m having troubles with FPS in most of my games, where I don’t see a considerable increase in FPS when I decrease quality. I’m testing my FPS on rainbow six siege. 
specs:

- gtx 1080

-i7-7700k @ 4.20ghz

32gb ddr4 2400

 

i’ve tested to see if it’s the temps, cores and I’ve ran all diagnostics from my manufacturer support page. Every result says it’s running fine but when I check any benchmark videos with the same setups, they’re averaging 200+ FPS, where I usually get 130-160fps. Not much of a difference when you think about it, but usually I play on low quality, and still happen to get jumps down under 100 FPS in more chaotic situations. 
 

please help! Thank you so much.

I guess that's 1080p or even lower. Your CPU is a bottleneck.

The solution, since you already do have a card meant for 1440p gaming, is to get a 1440p monitor or use Nvidia VSR to play on higher than 1080p.

The alternative would be upgrading the platform. Meaning the CPU, motherboard and maybe even RAM if you decide on Ryzen.

install msi afterburner in game OSD and check % of cpu usage and gpu usage, in some areas you can see botleneck or if someting is wrong also frametimes.

 

also disable bloatware options of win 10. and get default clock of the cpu to see diferences.

So basically, if I play in 1080p no matter what I’m being bottlenecked from the cpu? If I went the route of 1440p monitor, I’m having to lose the ability of my 240hz monitor(I know it’s not noticeable, just already spent the money)

 

but, considering that I’m not too worried about quality but more on FPS and smoothness, the mobo and cpu would be a better path?

I’ll give that a try and see if I can spot any specific change and post my results

Also, if I do decide on upgrading my mobo, cpu and ram. Any suggestions on what I should be getting? I’m willing to spend just over 700, maybe 800 cad
