CPU Issues

[Monarch36]

I Purchased a GTX 750TI to replace the stock motherboard graphics card in

my computer, the results were very satisfactory, but i wanted more.. 

So i went out and bought a brand new GTX 970 SSC 2.0+ ACX thinking I would get even more performance. To my dissatisfaction i got sub  100 fps in a game like CSGO and mid 100's in Minecraft. 

 

My Idea is that I have the common case of CPU bottleneck but i want someone else's opinion on the situation 

 

My PC specs are : 

 

GPU - Nvidea GTX 970 SSC 2.0+ ACX

CPU - AMD A8 5500 APU (This is what i believe the source of the problem is)

HDD - WD green 1 TB

SSD - intel 530 240Gb

PSU - Corsair cx750

RAm - 12 Gb 1600Mz

 

Any help would be very nice to have and thank you to whoever helps me out

both of those games are cpu limited and you cpu is disgustingly bad. even for 750ti not to mention 970...

Yup, definitly the CPU. I would get a new motherboard and CPU as well.

HUGE bottleneck man. That was stupid, you should've upgraded your CPU after that 750Ti upgrade.


I don't mean to offend you by the way.

I thought that was the problem lol

 

my thought process was

"oh its quad core with a clock of 3.2, it will be fine!"

i couldn't have been more whong

Get a different quad core i3 or i5

Also, did you install the drivers for the GTX 970?
