CPU bottleneck

[longhorn_54]

I know its an old rig but this shouldnt be a problem. I had gt 220 paired with my q9300 (2.5ghz), 6gb ram. So i knew there was i bottleneck and i bought hd 5750 7-8 days ago. And problems started showing. I cant play literally anything its impossible. CPU is 95-100% all the time when the gpu is about 50-60%. I disabled all startup programs so there is nothing in the background. I saw people pairing gtx 750, gt 1030 (which are much more powerful gpus) and there is not as much bottleneck as i have. Also, when i go to https://thebottlenecker.com/ (bottleneck calculator) it shows that this gpu is too slow for my cpu (100% gpu bottleneck) i really dont know wtf is going here :D

Back in the xp days you had to use a driver cleaner before going from nvidia to ati or vice versa , same deal here. you gotta use driver cleaner before switching from the two companies

i've already done this with ddu and from win 10 i have gone back to win 7 (had same problem on both OS)

what game are you attempting on the q9300

[longhorn_54]

gta v, gta iv, minecraft even runs at 40 fps ffs while i on my gt 220 had like 200+fps

minecraft is almost completely CPU limited so the GPU will make very little difference.

 

do you have your monitor directly connected to the GPU `?

Yeah

But its not just problem in mc i cant literally play anything like gta san andreas run in apprx 50fps
