Ok so a few days ago I upgraded from my old Evga GTX 650 TiBoost to a shiny new Asus Radeon R9 380 Strix card. The guy at Microcenter assured me even with my old CPU bottlenecking the video card ever so slightly I would see huge improvements in graphics capacity and FPS. I'm sad to report however, that this is not the case. A minor bump in graphics improvement in Fallout 4 with slightly WORSE framerates, Dying Light is running WAY WORSE at the exact same video settings... What the hell? Is there some software to test if the CPU is really holding me back? Here's my setup
Windows 10 x64
AMD FX-4130 Quad-core 2.81Ghz
Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2P
I guess the last question is if you guys think it's my CPU slowing me down can I get away with just upgrading the CPU or do I have to get a new motherboard as well?
Thanks for your help! Every time I ask a question on this website everyone is so helpful!
