Like many people I love playing computer games, MMORPG's, more intensive games, etc. My question is if there is a way to check (with my game open) how much my CPU is struggling in comparison to my GPU or at what point you know it's time to upgrade one.
Sometimes I will lag in a game but I'm not sure if it's the graphics or the processing, though many online state that your processor rarely reaches anywhere near its max when gaming in comparison to your graphics card.
My CPU is an I5 4430 and my GPU is Nvidia GTX 660. I'm assuming I could upgrade my GPU in a couple years and get increased performance, but is it worth upgrading my processor any time in the near future? Or are they typically overkill unless doing intensive photo/video editing?
