Hello everybody !
At first i know my PC is kinda old but I can`t spend money on a new one right now so I wanna ask you guys a question. My PC specifications are:
- MB: Asus P5KPL
- CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 - 2.5Ghz ( Not overclocked ) with after market cooler.
- GPU: Palit GTX550Ti - 1GB DDR5; 192bit.
- RAM: 4GB DDR2 800 Mhz
- PSU: Antec EA-500D GREEN
And I wanna ask you guys, is my CPU bottlenecking my GPU ? I`m having like 30-40 FPS in games like GTA IV, Assassin`s creed: Revelations, Saints row: The third. I checked how my components are working and usually when I`ve got low fps my GPU is sticking at around 50-60% usage and my CPU is usually around 60-70% usage. When I`ve got higher FPS my GPU is working at higher usage like 80-98 and sometimes 99%. Oh and by the way I tried lowering the graphics settings in these games, but no matter if they`re maxed out or not, highest or lowest resolution, i`m getting all the same FPS.
