Looking to upgrade something

I got a gtx 1070 recently but it hasnt been living up to its name. My fps in game is not what it should be and I need to know what I need to upgrade to make it better.

Also Id like to know what I should upgrade to. Id like to have great fps in games like fallout, gta5, r6siege, and pubg. (let me know if you need more info on my pc)

The cheapest route would probably be to get something like a Xeon X5650. Although I'm unsure whether it would work with your Dell motherboard. Alternatively, if budget isn't a big issue, you could get something like an R5 2600 and a B450 board. A big downside to that route is that you'd need to get DDR4 Ram which is still quite expensive.

Yeah, you might wanna upgrade those.

 

What games are you playing that the GTX 1070 "isn't living up to it's name"?

That GPU isn't bad, MOBO, RAM and motherboard will have trouble keeping up with most stuff released in the last 2 years... Linus has a ton of tech tip vids on your alternatives... 

 

Once every few years you need to take a plunge and upgrade to another series. Leap as far as you can afford. That will keep you satisfied with your system performance longer...

is there a good intel processor you could recommend or should i go ryzen? Budget isnt too much of an issue.

ok, ill look into that. You think a 550W would be good?

 

Here is the average fps i get on some games that i feel the 1070 should get me more on

PUBG Low graphics:40-55

R6S High: locked at 60 and cant change

Minecraft: Med-High: 50 and little freezes often

That processors a bit too old to be running those games.\

 

If budget isn't an issue get an 8700k with a Z370 board.

[RickH]

The I7 8700K and one of these:

- ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-F
- MSI Z370 Gaming Pro Carbon Ac
- ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-E

 

The difference between them involves how they are configured, how many slots, etc. It's all up to you.
