Hey, i have this issue my GTX 1050 ti wont run Rainbow Six: Siege or GTA V on 60fps even on low settings, i have watched videos where people use this graphics card and they get 60+ fps on ultra settings. My specs are:


Processor
AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 250 Processor (i have overclocked it from 3.0ghz to 3.6ghz)

Video Card
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti

RAM
6.0 GB

Operating System
Microsoft Windows 7 Professional Edition Service Pack 1 (build 7601), 64-bit
 
Solution
You have an Athlon II X2, it's an older and slower CPU and it's a dual core with no hyperthreading. So modern games that really need a quad core will not run good on it. Modern games that only need a dual core, but need fast cores, will also not run good on it.

As to what you can do, if you upgrade to an Athlon II X4, you will do better on games that need quad core but don't need the cores to be fast. Otherwise performance will still suck. So I do not advise upgrading this system further. Run it as it is, play only games that run well on it, until you build a new system.

Firstly, GTA V is a very CPU intensive game and your CPU will really struggle, secondly 6gb of ram is very low for GTA V, minimum recommendation is 8gb. I would try using 8GB of RAM then if your still stuck, it coulkd be your CPU.

Hello, the reason is your CPU, thats just not good enough, i suggest locking the games to 30 and turning up the settings to use that GPU power. it could be ram but to be honest 9/10 6gb is fine, but upgrade that CPU to an intel one ( may need new ram ) or at the very least get the best cpu for your socket and you will see a very good improvment as 2 cores isnt really enough these days endless it has hyper threading.
