Specs: CPU: AMD Fx(tm)-4300 Quad-Core Processor
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 6GB
Memory: 16 GB Ram
OS: Windows 10 Home 64-bit
Monitor: HP Pavilion 22cw IPS LED Backlit Monitor
So I'm not all that knowledgeable about hardware. I usually ask a computer-savvy friend of mine what parts I should get. But I know the 1060 is a pretty good card. Not end-of-the-line or monstrously good, but capable of running most AAA games on decent settings. It passes the test on almost every game on systemrequirementslab. My CPU, however, does not. But while my CPU doesn't pass a lot of them, the GPU seems to make up for it in some cases. Others, however, the games seem to lag pretty bad on any decent settings, or stutter and crash if there's a lot going on.
Basically what I'm asking: Is my outdated CPU severely dragging down my GPU? How much better would my gaming experience be if I upgraded my CPU to something better?
