I currently have an i5 6402P paired with a 1060 3gb and 8gb ddr4 ram. I mostly play a free to play online multiplayer game named Paladins on steam and I am having the main issue with that game. I am having extreme FPS drops. When in combat, the fps drops of 175 ( max locked ) to 70-80. Paladins asks for i5 750 and GTX 560 as the recommended system requirements but my CPU stays at 70% usage all the time and it doesn't matter whether I am playing the game on Low or Ultra. I barely takes around 40% of my GPU on ultra.
I have been playing some single player games lately too like Rise of the Tomb Raider and Witcher 3 and COD WW2. I have been playing these games on mostly high at 1080p but they are unable to maintain 60 fps constant. What I noticed was my i5 goes upto 100% usage and my GPU comes down to 70% and at exactly that moment my fps keeps dropping. Is this a sign of CPU bottlenecking?
I right now have some money saved which I can spend on upgrading to an i5 8400 and a H310 motherboard. Will it be worth upgrading and will I get noticeable performance improvement?
