Is my system bottlenecked?

[Vynil]

I've been experiencing doubts on the performance of my gtx1060 6gb graphics card, feeling as though I'm not getting the full load.

Then I got to play the same games on my cousins gaming rig, with spectacular experiences, and he's got the same graphics card.

It was truly a great difference..

 

I'm running:

 

Motherboard: Asus P6T6 WS Revolution

Processor: Intel Xeon W3670 6-core 3.20 GHz

Ram: 24GB DDR3

Graphics Card: ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 6GB TURBO

 

I am in no way a proffesional when it comes to computers and stuff,

but I don't want to use a system with a graphics card that I wont be able to get the full potential out of.

What would be the limiting factor here, and if I should upgrade anything.. what?

Appreciate your reply. <3

That Xeon is bottlenecking your GPU...

If you want a better experience, you should upgrade your PC entirely, including CPU, mobo and RAM.

should be said that this guy answered without even asking what game you're playing and immediately recommended spending money which is a tell tale sign of someone who isn't very good at pc diagnostics

Hey, just trying to help. And in any case, I am just pretty sure that such system won't really give the best gaming experience especially compared to regular gaming PCs.

Also according to what OP says, I don't think that there could be any other reason for that even though I don't know what the game is.

Upgradability in such a system is a problem I believe, and OP asked about possible upgrading so that was my answer.

or what windows version he's using , what driver version he's using , what diagnostics he already done , what other apps he's using.....it's almost as if you didn't know anything and made the fastest guess of all time.

I GUESS replacing a computer will fix almost any computer issue I just never thought to only recommend such a thing when I was too lazy to diagnose an issue. But if it works for you then w/e
