Low frame rate

[Quiqueabc1]

Hello i bought a 1070 fe about 4 weeks ago and games such as rise of the tomb raider, Gta v and o get high FPS about 70-100 on almost maxed settings, but then when I played gmod I got really low FPS, about 15-25, is it because I have an i5 4460 ? Am I not using the full performance of the 1070 and of so I was thinking of buying an i5 6600k (I know I'll have to purchase a new motherboard and ram) and would it have better performance on the 6600k on gaming?

You definitely do not need a new processor. The problem must lie somewhere else. Garry's mod can be very hard drive intensive for instance, and its also could be running on your integrated graphics instead of your actual gpu(i know most source games have a feature for this) Can you list off some settings and maybe a more complete list of games that do and do not work?

I just did a new installation of gmod and I get better frame rate 150-190 but I went into this prop hunt server I got massive frame drops down to 20-25 FPS

Sounds like you are getting low framerates because of your internet connection....

An i5-4460 and an i5-6600K are really pretty similar. When people say their CPU bottlenecks their GPU what they mean is that it doesn't matter if they put in a better GPU, the performance is CPU bound. For example, if one has a Pentium G3258 at stock and a GTX970 and were to say that this is CPU bottlenecked then their performance in games would be the same if they upgraded the GPU to a GTX980, 980Ti, 1070, 1080, Titan X, 980 Ti 3-way SLI. Doesn't matter, the CPU's the bottleneck here and the CPU is what's limiting the performance. Conversely people would say you shouldn't buy something that's bottlenecked - what this means is that if you have a G3258, as an example, and buy a 980Ti it's a waste of the GPU since it would perform the same as a 970. So you'd be better off buying the 970 and putting that money you save towards a better CPU, RAM, SSD, etc. Hence a G3258/980Ti build may be rethought and rebudgeted to an i5-4460/970 combination.

However an i5-4460 does not bottleneck a 1070. That's not what's happening. Honestly, if you hadn't posted that you have some other games and situations where you get >100fps I'd ask if you plugged the monitor into the motherboard instead of the GPU.

Run some benchmarks and confirm to yourself that your card is working correctly. Do all of this off-line. I'm with Chaos2Theory here - your internet connection could be choking stuff or that particular server may not be sufficient (assuming, eg, you have a good internet connection).

I just did a speed test with ooklas website and I get 150 megabits per second i don't think it's the Internet

Oh and the graphics are maxed out
