Hi. I am having very bad performance in many games such as Battlefield 1 and The Division. I mean like 30-55fps on Low except FXAA Medium Mesh Quality High in Battlefield 1 and random lag spikes in The Division.

My specs

DDR3 1600MHz 8GB

i5 4460S @ 2.9GHz (Turbo boost 3.4GHz)

Cryorig R1 Ultimate CPU Cooler (CPU is NOT overheating and GPU Temps at about 40-70 degrees celcius)

MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X 8GB

EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2 (750W PSU)

GeForce Experience 375.86 GPU Driver

Please someone that is actually skilled in tech would answer.

No, it might add few fps nothing else. 8 is enough, other more pricy parts are what you would want to change. Try to turn on games in windowed mode and open task manager to see what is at 100% or near that. You sa low settings but what resolution?

So you either need to change cpu and possibly motherboard. Or now you search why youre using 100% cpu instead of why pc's slow. If non windows stuff is using a lot cpu then turn that off when gaming , download latest cpu drivers, if that doesnt work search for help from others

8 gb ram is probably enough though for newest games it might be slightly useful to get 16 (no big change probably though.)

as mentioned get a better cpu you are using 1150 on your MB. if you got money you can try to get motherboard and 1151 socket cpu which are not so old and would be much better choice if you did not have free 1150 MB (don't worry for gpu compatibility)

your choice should be focused on performance/price ratio and not going for something that is like 1% better but something that is at least 20% better. maybe 4790k as mentioned

though for me 6600k is 2/3's price of 4790k so i would spend as much to get 6600k and motherboard(cheap one would be b150 ds3h) for it and then i would be much safer for future upgrades as next few generations of parts are probably gonna be socket 1151

and while 4790k is better it's debatable which one is actually better for gaming. i7's got those extra threads useless for gaming, but very useful for stuff like rendering.and i5's got the per core performance much more useful for general stuff and gaming.

just either buy what we suggest or much better search extra for what is your best choice with motherboard and cpu for whatever money you got. now you know that your problem is that your cpu and gpu are bottlenecking each other .
you can start new thread but now about choosing cpu not speeding up pc.
