My computer has been under-performing for a while now, so I finally decided to fix the problem. My GPU was under warranty with MicroCenter so I exchanged it for a brand new one. Unfortunately, things still are running dismally. For instance, in GTA V I have it set about mid range settings, and it only runs at 20-30 fps, with constant framerate drops, and texture pop-ins. If I drive too fast in game, there won't be any roads or buildings until I stop for a few seconds. I am starting to think it's CPU bottlenecking, even though everywhere I search says the i5-4670K should be more than efficient.
Is it possible my cpu is bad? Or is it something else?
