I installed a gtx 1050 a few weeks ago but ever since then my games haven't been running to well so i thought the cpu was the issue because it would dip without explanation well i tryed every trick in the book and no improvement so I installed msi after burner and tested skyrim max setting 720p (computer can more than run)
