Issues with FPS in certain games.

I know that I should be getting higher FPS than I am right now... I get 30-45 in Rocket League, sub 200 in CSGO, sub 60 in Witcher 3.  I think that my mobo is bottlenecking me to the extreme.  Think its possible?  Specs are:
 

  • CPU: AMD FX-8350 @ 4.0GHz
  • Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB Rev 5.0 (760G chipset)
  • RAM: 16 GB Kingston Hyperx Fury @ 1866MHz
  • GPU: GTX 980 Ti

Think that is all the relevant specs. Could my motherboard be holding back my rig's potential?

CPU is probably throttling caused by the MoBo. Not really worth fixing because it would cost 100+ to buy a new MoBo. Id'e get an entirely new CPU too.

 

+CSGO is fairly CPU intensive.

Just remember: Random people on the internet ALWAYS know more than professionals, when someone's lying, AND can predict the future.

i7 9700K (5.2Ghz @1.2V); MSI Z390 Gaming Edge AC; Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB 3200 CAS 16; H100i RGB Platinum; Samsung 970 Evo 1TB; Samsung 850 Evo 500GB; WD Black 3 TB; Phanteks 350x; Corsair RM19750w.

a 980 ti with a potato cpu with a terrible mobo?

your mobo has taken alot of damage from the cpu. i would recommend either getting a new mobo or GOING INTEL. (intel being the better option)

I might be able to sell off the mobo to a friend who has an 8350 but no board for it.  I am also considering buying a budget GPU and a PSU, keeping all the drives but my 750GB HDD and selling that.  Then buying myself a Skylake CPU, since no AM3+ boards have PCIe Gen 3.0.

Yah I bought the 980 Ti this summer, and had originally built the computer a year before.  I want to go Intel but I'd want to have a buyer for my current rig minus GPU, PSU and storage.

You've probably damaged components on the motherboard running the 8350 on it; I would;t go trying to sell the CPU or the motherboard 

 

take that back; VRM's look pretty solid

Your 980ti is bottlnecking with that CPU. 100% CPU usage and gpu not at 99% usage shows that. Once your gpu is running at 99% without CPU reaching 100%, that's when your system is optimal

In witcher 3 1080p maxed out with hairworks you should be getting like 75-80 fps

Have you tried uncapping FPS in CS:GO?

Open console and do:

fps_max 0

I think you'll have to do that everytime you open CS:GO

Your CPU is good enough to handle a 980Ti without any Bottleneck, The Problem is somewhere else.

I don't have framerate capped.  I do have a gsync monitor, so getting 144Hz constant is what I want but I can only get that when there's nothing happening.

I've been seeing around 50% CPU usage when I am running Rocket League at a earth-shattering 37 FPS... I don't think I need and upgrade on that, I don't tend to do any very CPU intensive tasks apart from the odd stream.

no, you use a 5 years old + CPU that has never been a good performer to being with, it's a lowish-end CPU when it comes to gaming i owned one and upgraded from it about 3 months after i got it...it's a poor choice.
