Is i5-4460 still enough for gaming?

[DryTEK]

Hello everyone! I am wondering, is i5-4460 is still a good CPU for modern games? I upgraded to GTX 1060 6GB from GTX 760 2GB but I don't see a lot of difference in performance in games (in some games quite big difference but BF1 looks run at same fps and few other games too). Could it be because of my current CPU? Should I upgrade to a new CPU and would it make any difference?

You should be getting excellent performance with that CPU gpu combo at 1080p. Your CPU is not the issue

Well I cleaned up disk 😀 And turned on DX12 in games. Not it runs better

Sounds great. Did you use CCleaner?

Yeah I did (also), defragmented disc and cleaned it up.

Keep in mind, some games have a fps cap. So some may not seem like they have improved much from the 1060. Btw, what is the resolution of your monitor? Refresh rate 60 Hz?

how much ram do you have on your system?, also to consider what is your make/model of motherboard. H67 boards will performs less favorable over a z87 for example.

I suggest to turn v-synch off in games and turns off FPS cap as well in some games you can.

I am running 16Gigs of ram and I have GIGABYTE Z97X-Gaming 3 motherboard.
