Is my Graphics card a bottleneck?

[OzzieMaldonado]

I'm running an i5 7500 & GTX 1060 3gb.

 

Looking to upgrade...what would be best to upgrade first for gaming? my CPU or GPU?

 

Thanks for the advise!

GPU, 7500 is more than enough for gaming.

GTX 1070ti or 1080?

Definitely GPU for gaming. The calculations per clock of intel cpus make the i5s great for even the 1080 ti

1080 GPU gets my vote.

1080 for sure. Worth the $50 more.

depends,

What resolution are you playing at ?

Why do you think its a bottleneck?

Are you seeing limited performance right now?

What games do you play the most?  Do you know if they are more CPU intensive or GPU? What are you CPU/ GPU usages when gaming

 

Your current specs are more than enough for 1080p gaming

Playing at 1080, but making a move to triple screen gaming. I play racing sims (project cars 2 for example) and I’m getting between 90-120 FPS at high 1080p settings. I know that when I move to triple screens it will put more strain on the system so wondering what would be best to upgrade. 

 

Thanks for for the help!
