Hello, guys. I recently got my new video card - EVGA GTX 970 SC 4gb. I use my old processor - AMD FX 8350 and 4 GB RAM. So my question is - is it possible that my RAM bottleneck my cpu and gpu due too his only 4 gb's or there's another problem? I've played CS:GO with 150 fps, with my old gpu - nVIDIA GT 9600 and now I got the same fps.
 
Solution
4 GB is too low for a gaming system, 8 GB is the standard for gaming, with 16 GB being ideal although not really needed. Don't know if it will affect CSGO much though.
