Main issue:
So, i have benchmarked my PC to see how things are doing. Found out that, according to userbenchmarks.com, my graphic card is underperforming, whilst all my other hardware is performing above expectations.
As i mainly use my PC for gaming, this is a concerning.
So my question is, what could be causing this? Bad configuration? Old? Need cleaning?
- Also, of course, what could i do to improve/fix this?
My PC is approx. 2 years old (maybe a bit more, not sure)
Copied results from userbenchmarks.com:
UserBenchmarks: Game 43%, Desk 78%, Work 56%
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790 - 79.7%

MBD: MSI B85M-E45 (MS-7817)
New Graphics card?
Also, i would appreciate any suggestions to a new graphics card, as i am not aware of which components are compatible, and best value for money etc.
Edit: After searching a bit, i found the 1070 to be a good candidate for this, not sure if its compatible or if something is better tho.
(Preffered budget: 300-600$, )
Thank you in advance!
(Also let me know if you need further information, then i will update the post)
