Can this achieve 144fps

[Gregg]

Just got my new 144 fps freesync monitor but im not maintaing 144 fps in rainbow six siege graphics option dont change the fps I get so it's cpu bottleneck rn I have a rx480 and a i52500 was wondering if a 3770 k would get me 144fps constant or close dont want to get a new pc just yet

Get a 3770K and OC it, that should eliminate any bottleneck you might have.

List out all your specs. Also, watch your GPU and CPU usage in a program like HWMonitor or MSI Afterburner. It could be  either CPU or GPU with your set up

If you have a decent Z chipset motherboard and can get the 3770K for basically free go for I suppose, dunno what your socket/chipset supports though, probably needs a bios update of some kind

Or an upgrade to Ryzen might only run your $300 for a 6 core CPU, ASrock Pro 4 B450 board, and 8GBs of DDR4 3000mhz

and ya your i5 2500 is going to top out around 60hz/60fps at best in more modern games.

If it's a crappy OEM system it may not even have a Z chipset board, or any decent VRM.

Doubt you’ll hit 144fps is anything unless the game is old or easy to run. Which means it won’t be cpu intensive. At 1080p that cpu would struggle a bit in some titles but should be able to keep up with that card for the most part.
