Hello I recently upgraded my pc with a better GPU because my

Unfortunately, all you can do at this point is turn off or down CPU heavy graphics settings, like shadows, lighting or physics.

Your CPU is definitely the weak point. OCing it might help a little, but that's probably out of your league.

Your dad's suggestion is really out of date, that might have happened in 90's systems, but is unlikely to be the cause for anything nowadays.

Thank you very much for the quick reply. I expected as much, I had to at least try and see if I could do anything about it.

Buy an Athlon X4 880k and kick the can

A used Athlon x4 860k can be obtained pretty cheap these days, less than 30€ even.

You're fucked mate. You''re going to need to replace everything when you upgrade to Intel, aside from the graphics card and the storage.

>>57632480
Mobo and cpu are the only thing he needs to change. A cpu cooler either he has or gets a stock one with the cpu.

xddd

The newest Nvidia driver has caused problems for me and other people, use DDU and and then install the second or third most recent driver

>>57632208
The CPU is definitely a bottleneck that's not allowing your GPU to operate at its fullest potential. I recommend upgrading it to a core i5 or waiting for AMD zen in early 2017.

Is the Athlon really going to make much of a difference?

For example: Overwatch is currently running at 14 fps at lowest settings, with at one point dropping to 4 fps.

I was already prepared to save up money and do >>57632480 >>57632500 for a solid build, but if a cheaper option will yield results I would definitely go for that.

>>57632743
*Yield results quicker

>>57632743
A Skylake i3 with a DDR3 motherboard would be more cost effective. I mentioned the Athlon because you said you didn't have money to buy something Intel.

>>57632743
It will be a pretty big upgrade considering the price you pay. With your current mobo, you can even overclock that CPU to even get you more bang for your buck.

>>57632806
>>57632743
I had forgotten that Skymeme only wants DDR3L officially btw. Only some board vendors support DDR3 (up to 32GB)

>>57632806
That's why I'm asking.

If an Athlon will get me to the point where I could for example play overwatch with a stable fps at around 40, I'm not gonna look a gift horse in the mouth. If it's just going to notch me up by 5 fps I'll exercise patience.

>>57632900
Call me a pussy but I'd rather not overclock. If I can operate shit within its capacity it makes me sleep better at night.

>>57632958
You must be pretty new with computers.

Overclocking isnt that scary once you get in to it.
Sure it may be tedious to get things stable, but it will not fuck your computer up if you crash a few times. If you get it stable and within your comfort zone, you'll be fine. Besides with the GUI bios we have nowadays, its really easy aswell. There are tons of guides on the internet.

Yes, I'm new with actually building and maintaining a computer and fondling around the hardware, myself.
