Does i5 4590k bottleneck rx 470 nitro+ gpu

[lucifer251297]

I have core i5 4590k and sapphire nitro+ rx 470..and 10 GB ddr3 ram.....when i play a high graphics game(witcher 3,gta V,shadow of war,call of duty WW2) the fps doesn't stay stable...it just drops frequently.....Is this happening for bottleneck?

For a 1060 GTX which about 30% faster than the RX 470, 4590 would only bottleneck it worst case scenarios. If you are getting FPS drops, check your CPU usage to see if it's hitting 100% at the time of the drop. HWInfo is good for this and it produces graphs. If you are hitting 100% usage or generally are playing over 90% usage then your processor would be bottle-necking.

Check your background CPU usage and see if you have applications eating up CPU resources.

A processor like a 4790k would be able to handle increased workloads better and which would in turn lead to smoother game-play.

If I increase my ram will it decrease?

the only real bottleneck is biomass called human.
it is much more probable that your GPU is the weakest point, not the CPU.

Adding RAM doesn't help unless you are actually running low on RAM. HWinfo is also useful for determining that. It will tell you both your RAM usage as well as your page file usage. If your PC is using more than 5% page file then a RAM upgrade would be a good idea.
