I Guys,
I just upgraded my GPU, from a R9 285 2GB DDR5, to a RX 570 8GB DDR5.
After running several benchmarks, I figured, that with the newer better Graphics Card, my CPU is performing waaay worse.
Here are both benchmark results
I've heard, that an old CPU can bottleneck a GPU, but I've never seen that before.
Is that a thing, since the GPU seems to be performing pretty good apparently and does not seem to be bottlenecked.
I am planning to upgrade my Motherboard and CPU anyways soon, since my current motherboard is limited to Sata II, and the CPU is running hotter than I would like it to. It's not too bad actually, it's running at about 70°C on full load and like 40 on idle, but I'd prefer it cooler, like with my former CPU i5 7400, which ran at 50°C under full load, at most.
Thanks in advance!
