i5-7500 with GTX 1060 6GB-Not happy with fps

[mdd1963]

A RAM upgrade would in theory only net you 3-5fps for potentially $150+ so that would be better spent elsewhere, or more likely put to one side and saved for an upgrade.

I'm biased, I don't like my i5. I expected more of it, especially for what I paid for it. But it is seen as the standard for mid-high gaming.

The universal nod for the i5 as 'best bang for the buck' was already beginning to slightly wane even before the assorted R5 processors, but the R5-1600 sure put a serious dent in i5-7600K sales... I'm not sure what sort of dips (if any)are normal in that game....

crank up the texture details to max, though...the GTX1060(6gb) can handle it....

The above caution of IWndows updates running right after a clean install is a very reasonable caution flag...

It will indeed strangle performance when occurring.....

Not sure what you guys are doing wrong, My specs include:
-I5 7500 @ 3.7ghz
MSI GeForce 1060 6gb Gaming x
8gb DDR4 2400 MHZ ram
1TB HDD
256GB SSD
and i get over 110 FPS on ultra settings of GTA v....
But with my graphics mods i get a sold 60-90 fps..
It honestly could just be a lot of things
I know this is late asf but even having a computer that you haven´t defragged or cleaned with impact performace..
Open task manager and make sure your CPU is at the speed it should be
See what your disk usage hits, if it goes about 80% then there could be an issue there...

Windows updates screwed *a lot* of folks' gaming performance within the last month or so...some updates are coming.
