I think Minecraft is being bottlenecked by my GPU!

[wyatt445]

So I have this old Dell Dimension E520, and I ordered parts for it, the gpu hasn't come yet (GT 1030) but the Core 2 Quad Q6600 came and 8 gb of ram came, the game ran worse than when it was on Windows XP (im now running windows 7 ultimate) and when I opened HWMonitor it said I was using 99% gpu, but the cpu only like 30% is it possible that im being bottlenecked by the graphics card? (Nvidia Geforce 7300 LE)

If your GPU is hitting max usage, getting a better one will allow it to do more. You did the prerequisite step of measuring your resource usage (Good!), you just have to accept what the numbers are telling you
