[SOLVED] Does the AMD FX-6300 bottleneck my 1060 6GB? Massive FPS drops

[LewisMann]

Does the AMD FX-6300 bottleneck my MSI 1060 6GB? I get Massive framerate drops in Fortnite, when i first load up fortnite i get about 120-170 constant and after a while it changes to 40-80fps and the game is super laggy!

What can I do if my 6300 is bottlenecking my 1060? Should I look at buying a new cpu, ram and motherboard?



I have water cooling, I have the Corsair H105

GPU:MSI GTX GeForce 1060 6GB

CPU: AMD FX-6300

RAM: Kingston Hyper X Fury DDR3 (not sure exactly what frequency but it shows at 933mhz)

Power Supply: Corsair CS650M

Even if you don't vsync, things will seem laggy because only partial frames will be updating fast enough.

But the vsync will give you smoothness. 1/60 second isn't much to worry about.

Yeah, if you're looking for faster frame rates, you need a monitor with a higher refresh rate. Still, I imagine the rest of the platform should probably be upgraded as well ultimately.
