Hello
I am a novice to computers and this website, I recently upgraded my graphics card to a gtx 760 from a gtx 650, but there seems to be no improvement and the games I play stutter and lag no matter what settings I put them on. All drivers and such are up to date, so I was wondering if my CPU is bottlenecking or if possibly my power supply isn't efficient enough
my specs
processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 / 2.5 GHz
Power supply: diablotek 500 Watt EL series
I have used msi afterburner to look at the levels and it shows that the temp doesn't go over 70 and the max usage for the GPU is 96 and the max for all four CPU's is 100 while playing battlefield 4, idk if that helps.
