Hello, for more than five years I'm a happy owner of a Phenom X6 1100T, 8gb 1333mhz, SSD, with a radeon HD 7970.
I can play almost anything with this old setup, but recently I started to play PUBG Battlegrounds and started having trouble with low FPS to the point its affecting my gameplay.
I want to know if I will have a insane bottleneck putting a 1080 gtx in this rig. What do you guys think ?
If so, it there a way to decrease the bottleneck ? Maybe changing something but staying with the same mobo ?
And if you are wondering: "Why not buy a entire new PC ?"
1 - Because this is a excelent PC and I would have to throw it in the garbage because I will have no use for it and, also, its not worth it selling it (almost zero selling value + 5 years of heavy use)
2 - Buying just the gpu FOR NOW would be cheaper and if (only if) other parts start to fail, them I will buy a new one.
Thank you all for you attention.
