I need some help there, I currently own a FX-6300 with an OC to 3.9GHz (VRM overheat if going past this..) and a R7 250x graphics card.
In some games like Battlefield 4 and GTA V I get stuttering or low FPS in zones with too much objects (Battlefield 4 for example gets stutter every 30~40 seconds on medium preset, no AA, 100% scale), stuttering in GTA V is not as frequent but it doesn't hit 60FPS easily, staying there hovering in about 40~50FPS.
So, I finally got money enough for an upgrade and have been wondering what would be better: GPU or CPU change.
GPU Would (Correct me if I'm wrong):
- Allow to increase settings like AA *unsure*
- Allow higher resolutions
- Possibly stop stuttering
CPU Would (Same as before):
- Allow increasing settings *unsure too*
- Possibly stop stuttering (I have noticed overclocking my FX to 4.2GHz allow me to play BF4 without stuttering but it simply starts melting VRM xD)
- Keep GPU at constant usage (I don't know why but I can play Far Cry 3 easily on this computer with constant 98-99% GPU usage and high FPS (They never go lower than 75FPS))
My possible upgrades:
New LGA 1150 motherboard + i5-4690K or GTX 970 or maybe GTX 1060/GTX 1070 (Unsure about the 1xxx graphics cards)
