Hi,
im wondering why im only getting 40fps in CSGO as it is more of a cpu bound game.
Is the gt1030 bottlenecking thew cpu?
System:
i5 8500
Gt 1030 2gb
Z370 tomahawk
8gb 2666mts ram

Much appreciated.
\also wanting to know what the best card for a 8500 would be with no spending issues.

That cpu is quite good. No issues there. The gt 1030 is quite bad.
 


1030 is shocking, was only temporary, however im not sure which gpu to go with if you could help

 


What's your budget? The rx 580 is good value for ~$200, used gtx 1080s for 350-400, or rtx 2080s for ~$700.
 


Thinking of getting a second hand 1080ti!
thanks
