[SOLVED] Is my cpu bottlenecking my Gtx 750 ti

[iamwtbro]

Hey guys my computer seems to experience a lot of frame drops recently in Fortnite and sometimes in Overwatch I know the Gtx 750 ti isn’t that good anymore but i was wondering if my Amd phenom Oo x4 b95 is bottlenecking my EVGA GTX 750 Ti FTW.
Here is a list of my main specs:
AMD Phenom II X4 B95
4x2 gb ddr3 1333mhz ram
EVGA GTX 750 Ti FTW Edition

Thanks for taking your time to read this

Not enough to matter. This said tho both need upgraded. You should probably focus on getting a new CPU first. Something like the Ryzen 2600.

Okay but with my computer in Fortnite every so often I feel the frames drop when loading in some chunks

Yup the CPU may get you a few frames faster. The video card is at the bottom of the requirements so dont expect much at normal resolutions. The only way a CPU would really help you out is playing at a very low resolution. If you play at 720p the new CPU should give you a few more years with the 750ti.

Since my ram is really slow at 8gb 1333 MHz ddr3 will getting 16 gb of ddr4 at 3000 MHz help with loading in things or with FPS?

Na the RAM is the one part that does meet the system recommendation. More powerful CPU and then video card. You would be better off putting the money toward 8GB's of DDR4 for a Ryzen build. Something like this or the $95 AMD 2200G.

Thanks! I think I may just get 16 gb of ram though since I like having a lot of stuff open. I think I’ll get used parts to make it cheaper too but thanks man I’ll stick with the 2600

Sure and if you see a R5 1600 it to would make a good upgrade. Its a bit older version of the 2600 but works on both the B350 and B450 motherboards.

You do realise DDR4 won’t work with your current system and DDR3 won’t work with Ryzen. Therefore buying RAM for your current cpu when you plan to upgrade the cpu is a waste of money as you will need to buy again.
