To begin with, I have an i5-7600 @ 3.5GHz; A GTX 1060 6GB; 16GB RAM. I have recently been having huge issues with some of the recent games I've been playing. I used to be able to run these games 144FPS+ but now I struggle to run above 60 a lot of the times. I have a 144hz monitor so this is unbearable. I used to run BF1 at high settings above 90fps but now on the lowest settings I can barely reach 50. On black ops 4 lowest settings I struggle to reach 70. Fortnite I used to get 300+ on lowest, now I get about 40. I'm sure this is my CPU as in task manager all these games use up like 90% of my CPU usage. The temperatures are around 55 and according to Intel Extreme Tuning Utility, it's not thermally throttling. I ran the Heaven Benchmark 4.0 on Extreme settings and averaged 90fps and a score of 2000, which is good. But then when I go to run much lower quality games on lowest settings I can barely reach 60fps.
I'm really lost on what to do here, if I should buy a new cpu but risk having the same issue.
What are your thoughts on why my PC is running so poorly.
