New Graphics Card / Same FPS issues

[studdartt1090]

Hi all, I'm pretty new to PC gaming and I'm having some issues.

 

I recently bought a new PC and my specs are;

AMD Athlon(tm) X4 860K Quad Core Processor, 3700 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)

GeForce GTX 1060 3GB Graphics Card

BaseBoard Manufacturer    Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.BaseBoard Product    F2A68HM-HD2
 

I'm having real issues with FPS on most games and feel like I'm dropping below 30 FPS regularly which of course is causing lag. I don't know what part of my PC is causing the poor frames as I only recently purchased the graphics card as an upgrade to my previous. I'm a first time poster in the forums and if I've left any essential information out please let me know and I'll add it. 

 

I hope someone can help me as I'm running between 25-35 fps on games like The Witcher and Deadside, I feel its not the graphics card as when I'm changing the graphics settings on the witcher their isnt much of a change in FPS. 

 

Can anyone assist? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Have you downloaded your drivers???

That can be a cause

Go to Nvidia to download drivers

Your CPU is going to bottleneck you on any modernish game

It's recommended to go with a fx series Chip from amd if your on an budget

Its the cpu. Its a heavy bottleneck. I was a former r 3 1200 user. And that quadcore got bottlenecked in some cases that i felt the fps shift the moment i changed to the r 5 3600.

 

Like in ghost recon wildlands. It shifted from constant 30-40 fps in any setting to about 60-80 even 90 depending on the setting.

guys thank you for the quick replies. Is the only course of action to replace the CPU or update the drivers.

 

Would you guys have any recommendations for a CPU upgrade?

 

Thanks again

Hi All,

 

I recently bought a AMD Ryzen 5 2400g 4 Core, 8 Thread Processor, 3.9 GHz Max Boost, 3.6ghz Base CPU as an upgrade to my previous(stated above)

 

however upon trying to install the CPU it appeared that the fan which came included doesn’t fit my motherboard.

 

could I simply buy a new fan or would I need to replace my motherboard? Would this also mean replacing my power supply?

 

I have no idea about computers and would really appreciate any help with this.

 

if you need anymore information please just let me know and I’ll do my best to provide it.

 

thank you!
