Decent PC but low framerate and common drops

michaelbsh · Oct 21, 2017

So I bought a new PC and started playing games like Far Cry 4 or Assassins Creed IV and I got a low framerates and sometimes even drops. I cant find any thing to fix it, i tried many things from online but nothing seemed to work.
My PC Specs:
GTX 1060 3GB
AMD FX 8350 EIGHT CORES
16GB RAM

Thanks in advance for all the answers!

Those games from what i know are pretty cpu intensive so might be the cpu that is keeping fps that low. Can look ingame with a monitoring tool to see whether cpu is at 100% and the gpu isn't. The tool MSI Afterburner can show that ingame.

The 8350 is fairly weak by modern standards, it won't hold 60fps in many modern titles. However let's assume there is a problem, what motherboard do you have and what are your cpu & gpu temperatures while gaming?

GTX 1060 is deffenetly not a high end card. If you want to play the newest games on 60fps you need to lower your graphics settings. On what resolution are you playing ?

The FX8350 is about 5 years old, this is probably where the biggest bottleneck is. The GTX 1060 is a newer card but it would be on the higher end of the spectrum for mid range cards.

Would I be wrong to assume you bought a Cybertron PC? Found one with those specifications after a quick search. If so it looks like it has 1 intake and 1 exhaust fan as far as I can tell, getting the CPU and GPU temps would be very helpful especially while gaming or stress testing. If memory serves me correctly the 8350 ran hot so knowing the temps would be very helpful.
