Hello everyone,
I recently bought a GTX 1080 to replace my previous GTX 970 and unfortunately, the frames I am getting in a lot of games are quite disappointing... (Around 30-40 in games like Fallout 4, Arma 3, Rust, etc). I've looked for answers, and apparently, I need around 16GB as 8GB of RAM (my current size) does not pair well with a GTX 1080. Do I really need to increase my RAM? Or would the cause be something else like the CPU?
Here are my PC specs:
CPU: i5 4690 (non-k)
GPU: GTX 1080 GeForce GIGABYTE Xtreme 8GB
RAM: 8GB
Motherboard: GIGABTYE ga-h97-hd3
PSU: fsp aurum s 650w
Storage device: Seagate 2TB SSHD/256GB SSD
OS: Windows 10
I currently have a 1080p 60Hz monitor which I plan on upgrading very soon (would the monitor be bottle-necking my GPU if that's possible)?
Sorry for the annoying question, just really confused and quite frankly a bit worried. Any replies would be immensely appreciated!
Thanks!!
