I recently upgraded to a GTX 760 ti and I've been having some stuttering in games and what-not.
I have a AMD phenom 955 x4 at stock 3.2 ghz. I was thinking maybe this would be bottle-necking? I bought an after-market CPU cooler not too long ago and the CPU is only at 35-40c when running games on high.
When it "bottle-necks" doesn't it mean that the CPU has to work a lot harder to keep up with the GPU? So It would be hot if it were bottle-necking....?
I've been trying to play BF4 and it keeps stuttering, the game is actually decently smooth on any setting but it stutters more or less the same amount, even on low settings. I was thinking this is bottle-necking?
So i was comtemplating getting a new CPU but I have a M4N68T-M (lol) so I would need to get a new mobo also for a new CPU.
EDIT: The reason I got an after-market CPU cooler was because it was running at 100 degrees Celsius on high settings before.
So basically my question is: Would my GTX 760 be bottle-necking my AMD 955? If it is, what CPU and mobo should I upgrade to that would fit nicely with my GTX 760?
