I've been pestering everyone in the CPU section of the site because I've been getting strangely low framerates in the game Ground Zeroes. I've been considering upgrading my CPU but I just now checked my RAM and it's 8gb, 800MHz.
Everywhere I look I see 1600MHz or higher. Is it possible that it's this causing a bottleneck in my system?
When I run the game Afterburner shows my 4 CPU cores going up to almost 100% at times and this is when my framerate goes down. The GPU stays at around 60%, all my temps don't break 65.
System:
CPU: i5-3340
GPU: MSI GTX 970
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z77-D3H
I'm just checking because I didn't consider that it could be the RAM and obviously upgrading the RAM would be cheaper than the CPU. I've neglected my hardware knowledge for a while so I don't know how much RAM speeds affect games.
