Hello,

 

I recently bought far cry3 and it's a game i can (in theory) run without any problems. But the only problem is that my gpu is always below 60%,  i know my cpu bottlenecks in cpu intesive games like bf1.

 

specs:

i5 6400

gtx 1060 3gb

8gb ram 1333  DDR3

gigabyte h110m-h DDR3

What is there to troubleshoot?

Want to know which mobo to get?

Spoiler

Choose whatever you need. Any more, you're wasting your money. Any less, and you don't get the features you need.

 

Only you know what you need to do with your computer, so nobody's really qualified to answer this question except for you.

How can i get my gpu usage higher

Get MSI Afterburner(Install RivaTuner when it asks you)/Other monitoring software and open up a game. Check to see how CPU usage is doing. If it's in the high-90's, you'd best upgrade to a DDR4 board, as the CPU you have right now should be perfectly capable of pushing over 60fps.
