Hello

Hello

I recently upgraded my pc with a better GPU because my games were running like shit, but now they run like shit and in some isolated instances even worse.

I've been told online that it's my CPU that's incapable of keeping up, which makes sense as I had to fall back on some low-budget parts because I couldn't boot my pc earlier this year and my performance problems had started at that point.

Now I can't afford a new cpu at the moment because I have no spare money, my dad suggested I look into possible bugs in the individual parts not communicating properly but I don't know where to start looking.

My setup is:
>Asus A88x-Plus Main
>AMD A6-6400k CPU
>4x Corsair XMS3 8 GB ram
>Palit GTX1060 GPU
>Samsung SSD 850 Pro

Can you help me or will it be the good old throwing money at it until it goes away?

Unfortunately, all you can do at this point is turn off or down CPU heavy graphics settings, like shadows, lighting or physics.

Your CPU is definitely the weak point. OCing it might help a little, but that's probably out of your league.

Your dad's suggestion is really out of date, that might have happened in 90's systems, but is unlikely to be the cause for anything nowadays.

>32GB RAM
>GTX 1060

Thank you very much for the quick reply. I expected as much, I had to at least try and see if I could do anything about it.

If it helps to maintain the good name of this board, I'm from /tg/ usually lurking for humour threads on other boards.

Buy an Athlon X4 880k and kick the can

A used Athlon x4 860k can be obtained pretty cheap these days, less than 30€ even.

>AMD A6-6400k

You're fucked mate. You''re going to need to replace everything when you upgrade to Intel, aside from the graphics card and the storage.

Mobo and cpu are the only thing he needs to change. A cpu cooler either he has or gets a stock one with the cpu.
