MY PC IS TRASH

[myPCistrash]

HI ,i have a low-mid tier PC 

 

im looking for some help . ive optimised my pc for gaming , and my pc exceeds the minimum to run the games i play , valorant, apex, wz.2.0, 

 

i get micro stutters , frame drops , unstable gaming experience

 

i have a RX 580 gpu 

FX-6300 6 core proccesor 

16gb of ram 1866mhz which is running at those speeds via bios 

Biostar A960D+ v.6 motherboard  

1tb hhd ( next thing to get is SSD)

 

like i said not amazing but not terrible 

 

i will be upgrading but right now i cant as life takes over 

 

why am i struggling to run these games above 60fps  especially valorant and apex (with cod i have it dl but i dont dare try play it until i have these titles runnign correctly) althought i have the reccomended specs to run cod from there website 

 

any help on how to get my games running smoother at a higher frame rate will be highly apprieciated

[myPCistrash]

yotube can only take you so far as trying to find someone with my specs is difficult because although they might have the same gpu other components usually r totally diff

What resolution are you trying to run at? The FX-6300 is not very good.

Well, as I was trying to type in the other thread:

Those games are CPU Limited, and your CPU is absolutely the limit there.  Nothing's really gonna change that.

 

Your GPU is actually fine, as the RX 580 is still absolutely competent.

 

If you look for a used CPU/Board/RAM combo (Intel 7th-10th gen, or Ryzen 2000 or 3000 series) you'll see a HUUUUUGE boost overall.  

[Needfuldoer]

Your mechanical hard drive isn't helping.

 

I'd get an SSD and do a clean install of Windows on that. When you upgrade in the hopefully not too distant future, you can take the SSD with you.

thats the plan , do u think this will help resolve the stutter as my task manager shows no bottlenecks my gpu sits around 40-50 percent which personally i think it should be used more in certain games and i cpu is taking the load ?

When you're playing games that use the CPU a bunch (such as apex and valorant) your GPU is rather likely to not be fully used.

 

So, other than cleaning up cycles in the background, you can't do anything to make your PC much faster.

im using a stretched res LG monitor i lower the res to help the pcs overall performance but 2560x1080 is the res on my display

FX-6300 is literal trash.

 

Nothing short of a platform (motherboard+CPU) upgrade will really cure your ills.

The title is the answer

Get rid of that horrible FX6300 get some 5500 and you'd be fine

no, that entire FX Line of CPUs was really bad.

In general terms, your CPU is absolute garbage. It was shit when it came out in 2012 and is even more shit now ( There is no way to put this nicely )  The entire FX lineup was not very good at all.

[myPCistrash]

right im now fully aware the cpu i dogshit , but heres my little query , it should be able to handle valorant tho surely ? i mean from what ive heard of my friends is u can run the game off a toaster ?

[myPCistrash]

i appreciate the help/feedback people coz i was loosing my head with all this 

[myPCistrash]

what mother board and cpu will be compatible with my other components ? any ideas

Effectively you'll only be carrying over the graphics card and the storage drive. RAM really needs to be replaced too because nothing worth buying now still uses DDR3.

No, the FX line of CPUs were an absolute dumpster fire of a product, just all around bad, even when they first came out, and that was 11 years ago. And it was bad enough for a class action lawsuit and AMD having to pay out money to original purchasers.

 

The only way you're going to improve the system in a positive way without doing a whole new computer is a CPU,Mobo, Ram combo and doing a full platform upgrade. Go with AM4 or 10th or 11th Gen Intel, you can get them for fairly cheap these days. 

 

If you want to improve your system on the cheap without doing such a major upgrade, an SSD will help a ton with load times and some stutter but getting rid of that god awful 6300 should be your top priority.

if i was for example to pick up a ddr4 board backwards compatibility is a thing right so i could use my ddr3 ram for temp use?

No. There is no backwards compatibility with RAM. You can't even fit DDR4 memory in a DDR3 slot or vice versa. 

[myPCistrash]

i just bought new ram aswell thats a kick in the teeth init , sorry im not loaded im new to all this and ive got two kids , so all this will be over a period of time coz i have responsibility's 

[Mark Kaine]

everyone is right u need to upgrade the cpu/ram/mobo... i think even a 10th or 11th gen i3 would be a huge upgrade, and those are fairly cheap (someone correct me if im wrong)

Wait, what did you order? You might want to run what you're thinking of buying through us first before you pull the trigger.... We can help make sure you don't overpay and get the right parts.

[myPCistrash]

the ram i bought is in my pc already as when i got it it only had 8gb of ram , its viper  dual channel ddr3 ram sticks from new , theyre less than a week old so i suppose i could sell them locally to someone i know maybe , but i have no idea what to buy if anyone could send me a link for a new mother board and cpu that would be an upgrade to what i have for now without buying all new everything that would be great as all this is most definitely on a budget
