My cpu is bottlenecked so I was talking to a guy and he said that if I replace/upgrade the cpu I will still be bottlenecked and tbat I should replace both gpu and cpu.

My gpu:Asus 1050 ti

Cpu:Amd ryzen 3 1200
 
Solution
  • If lowering the graphics settings has no effect on frame rates, then the bottleneck is your CPU
  • If lowering the graphics settings increases the frame rate, then your GPU is reaching its upper limits

Like @remixislandmusic stated the single channel memory (slow speed?) could really affect gaming. For example going from 2133 to 3200 on Destiny 2 raised my FPS by almost 25 and this is in a dual channel kit.
