So I have a AMD FX-6300 CPU hooked up to my GIGABYTE G70-A UD3P Motherboard with my RX 480, and I have all the signs of my CPU bottle necking (used GTA V to benchmark):
I had my GPU usage fluctuating and barely any changes to FPS (always lingered around 35-55) when lowering resolution, which were the main giveaways (Temperatures are fine)
But is it viable to upgrade the CPU to, say a FX 8350 or would it not have much of an impact on the more CPU intensive games due to how outdated these CPUs are nowadays?
Worst comes to worst I can get an AM4 MOBO and grab a Ryzen 5 but it's way too much money for me as an 18 year old student.
Any help appreciated.
