Cpu bottlenecking with Gpu or not ?

Saniasiddiquii · May 27, 2017

Hi..
I have core2quad 2.4 ghz q6600 8mb cache , 8gb ram ddr2 and i have gpu gtx 1060 3gb mini itx oc 3g. I am playing watch dogs 2 and cpu usage is not increasing to 20-40% its sticked to 30-40% and my processor is not overclocked its stock 2.4 ghz so guys suggest me should i buy core2quad 3.0 ghz q9650 ? or recommend me the best cpu for gtx 1060 3gb ? so that i could get good fps ? as i am getting quite low fps 20-30 fps and low gpu usage 30-40%.

Your processor is bottlenecking your graphics card. Lower the most cpu demanding graphics options like shadows and see if that helps.

core 2quad q9650 3.0 can give marginal effect on perforamance with gtx 1060 3gb?

Trafalgar747 · May 27, 2017

It will improve performance for sure, but it will still bottleneck performance. Get it if you can at a cheap price, otherwise it would be better to save up for a newer processor like the G4560.

i am getting that q9650 with the exchange of my q6600 i need to pay 30$ more over it for q9650

Saniasiddiquii :

It'll only help a tiny bit even the q9650 isn't enough for watch dogs 2 (below min spec) or any modern game. Just save up and buy the g4560 + motherboard + ram.

What is g4560 ? it is a processor or motherboard ? or core i3 generation?

jaslion · May 27, 2017

Saniasiddiquii :

it's basically an i3 with the pentium name. It has 2 cores 4 threads and is amazing value for the money.

Saniasiddiquii · May 27, 2017

Can you exactly tell me the branded machine name dell or hp? which has g4560 chipset or i need to get unbranded ?

Saniasiddiquii · May 27, 2017

core i5 2nd generation wil better than g4560 ? to get rid of bottlenecking of gtx 1060 3gb ?

Saniasiddiquii :

Second gen i5's are a bit slower than the g4560. Just build yourself a pc with the g4560 in it. Give me a budget and I'll see what I can recommend.

Trafalgar747 · May 27, 2017

The G4560 is a lot more costly as you also need to buy a new motherboard and ram. The G4560 is roughly comparable to an i5 2400. For now, $30 for the Q9650 seems like a great idea. That extra performance will help a lot. Just lower settings like shadows/shadow quality to minimize the CPU bottleneck. A G4560+Mobo+RAM is for about $200 USD. I would probably not upgrade unless i really wanted better performance and can easily afford it.

sorry for the noob question i am pro abour graphic cards but has no experience about cpu this g series versions kindly if you can guide memore pentium g4560 is called core i3 4th generation ? or some other generation processor ? or it is a board which support other core i5 4th generation processor or core i7 4th generation processor ? can you talk in core i3 core i5 language ? i cant understand this pentium g4560..

You guys are talking about this dual core processor ? check the link below: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/8gKhP6/intel-pentium-g4560-35ghz-dual-core-processor-bx80677g4560

If yes then kindly suggest me the motherboard which would be the best for this processor ?

Trafalgar747 · May 28, 2017

The G4560 is a 7th gen Pentium processor. You would need a B250M (LGA 1151) mobo abd DDR4 ram for it.

What about core i5 3rd generation 3470 processor ? i5 3rd generation will be better than pentium g4560 ? and can i upgrade furthur pentium g4560 for more better performance ?

Saniasiddiquii · May 30, 2017

And i am biased for branded machines because their mobo is mostly not repaired because they use ti be fixed with bearbone and i prefer to buy dell machine or hp machines (branded) like dell t1650 hp 8300 instead of getting asus , gigabyte or msi custom mobo and pair with processors and power supply i have a great experience of branded machines i never met such an issue with it as i have seen many of my friends met an issue that their mobo got an issue sometimes their mobo slots become defected or other stuff so what do you suggest ? which would be the best branded machine that could support this pentium g4560 in dell or hp ? kindly mention the model name

Trafalgar747 · May 30, 2017

the i5 3470 uses the LGA 1155 socket type. Its more powerful than the G4560. Custom built PC's are almost always better than prebuit crap. What is your budget for an upgrade? I'd recommend get the Q6950 for now and upgrade later down the road.

Saniasiddiquii · May 31, 2017

I have a budget of 80$ yet for cpu.

Trafalgar747 · May 31, 2017

Just go for the Q9650, and think of upgrading another time.

Saniasiddiquii · Jun 1, 2017

In My area i could get only i5 2nd gen processor in 80$ and motherboard 20$ and i am pretty interested to buy dell t1650 or hp 8300 branded machines in which i could get power supply and motherboard fixed which ilove to do gaming on branded machines and never faced any issue branded machine and processor can work but i am afraid if i buy t1650 dell or hp 8300 branded machine and i5 processor 3470 could not work on it then it will be a problem because many of the branded machines bios use to be lock what do you say and if i make unbranded built then mostly mobo use to be repaired sometimes its ram slot do issues or sometimes pcie slots do issues..

Saniasiddiquii · Jun 1, 2017

What could be in my budget and less in bottlenecking g4560 with built ,core i3 with built or core i5 3rd generation with built ?

Cpu bottlenecking with Gpu or not ?
