My son's PC playing World of Warcraft runs around 50 to 60 fps in world environment/cities on 7 or 8. He goes into an instance and it drops to 10fps even on lowest settings. Is this card bottlenecking?

Do I need a gtx 950 or 1050 no ti?

i3 6100
8 GB Ram
GTX 1050 ti
650 watt psu
MSI Z170-A PRO LGA 1151 Intel Z170 ATX Intel Motherboard

The I3 6100 is quite a low spec processor and its normal that this happends. However i think the 1050 TI fits at its maximum capacity on the i3 6100. Maybe it lags cause its not ussing its fully potential. Download MSI after burner and put the fans at 100% then if its still lagging on the cities you can Overclock it a bit and see what happends.

If all of this fails a small upgrade to an i5 of the same generation and a GTX 1060 will be more than enough to fix any of this issues.

+Madcon So you already have an GTX 1050 Ti installed, and you're experiencing this poor performance? Sounds to me that when you installed the GTX 1050 Ti, you left the monitor connected to the video port on the motherboard, and forgot to connect it directly to the video card? Please verify where the monitor is plugged in.
