My old gpu was a gt 710 and my new one i just bought is a gtx 1050 ti
No real issues but stuff i wasn't having issues with before...
My cpu is a i3 3220
Before i wouldn't get that high of cpu usage and i wouldn't have any delays/lag on my pc.
Now i am having extremely high cpu usage and lags on my pc..
Now i am having a issue with alt tabbing out of a game wasn't having that issue before and it seems like it is only doing it with overwatch nothing else.. What could that be?

Legit the only issues i am having..
 
Solution
Your processor is the bottleneck here, it cant keep up with the new gpu. You need a better processor, try buying a used i7 that your motherboard supports.


Ah thought so didn't want to say that because wasn't too 100% sure if that is what bottlenecking does..
Hmmm
It isn't too bad that i'd need to switch back to my old gpu and wait to upgrade to new cpu..
The high cpu usage isn't that big of a issue it happens probably like 6/10 of the and even then it isn't noticeable while gaming just doing crap on desktop or internet..

And yeah as it seems overwatch is the only game having issues with the alt tab as i checked with everything else no issues all that will be my next adventure getting a new cpu.
