Bottleneck?

[Pkelexz]

Sooooo I dont have a beast pc i have a fairly decent pc with an i3 6100 8gb of ddr3 ram and a gtx 750 1gb ive noticed recently that i have a lot of frame drops in cs go and in other games.My temps are on the safe side and cpu usage is normal while gaming. Could the gtx 750 be bottlenecking my cpu therefore losing performance? my monitor is 1360x768 if that helps

Well if you didnt change your hardware then it wouldnt just start just bottlenecking for no reason

It must just be that the 750 is getting old i guess

It is more likely due to one of the following reasons:

1. Drivers: You may have drivers that are outdated. Use device manager to update your hardware, or a preferred third-party tool such as IObit Driver Booster.
2. BIOS: Check the manufacturer's website for updates on your BIOS. These can increase compatibility with newer hardware and software, while increasing security.
3. Windows: Make sure Windows is up to date. When was the last time you reinstalled windows? A fresh install could actually fix all of your problems.
4. Optimization: When was the last time you cleaned out your computer? Use CCleaner or another preferred third-party tool to clean your system. Delete unwanted files.
5. SSD: You will find your system would be much faster with a SSD. If you are going to reinstall Windows, I would get a SSD (Higher capacity is better) before you do so.

Hope this helps!
