Time for new cpu maybe?

[Woah Boy]

okay so i originally made a post related to my gpu which i thought was causing my terrible performance but ive recently discovered it may be my CPU i have the g4560 and ive been playing GTA;V just fine with 80+ fps with my old gpu BUT, i was using a vga connection, now with my 1050 im using a dvi and the cpu cant seem to handle it, when i set the task to high priority it helps, but id rather not have to do that every time i launch a game so im wondering should i upgrade and if so to what?

Switching video ports shouldn't change performance... Are you sure you're playing the game at the same resolution as before?

actually playing at a lower resolution than before, the vga had it locked in at 1600x1200 where my native res is 1600x900 and thats whats really confusing me, better gpu lower res, worse frames

What was your previous GPU? You might want to monitor the resource usage and see which one of the CPU or the GPU is the bottleneck.

previous was r7 260x and when monitoring the cpu in afterburner its at 100% usage on the two physical cores and the 2 hyperthreaded cores

Make sure you have the latest nvidia drivers, and you have nothing else running on the background.

yeah ive got the latest drivers, i uninstalled them manually the first time but i went back through and used ddu and installed them fresh again, and the only thing thats running in the bg is steam and afterburner

Then your CPU is definitely the bottleneck. You might want to tweak the settings. Take a look at this:

well how in the heck is his g4560 performing that way compared to mine, it wasnt even at 100%

[IAmAndre]

It was near 100% pretty much all the time
