MY CPU is TOO POWERFUL FOR MY GPU HOW DO I TEMPORARILY FIX THIS ISSUE?

[JGxGamer]

So I recently bought a FX-8350 for my system but little did I know it would be too powerful for the GPU I have which is the GTX750Ti. So when I'm gaming I can run great settings but not as smoothly as before on an A8-6600K? I know I have to upgrade my GPU soon to something like the GTX970/960 but at the moment I don't have the money so I'm wondering if there is any temporary fix so I can have games run smoothly.

-Thanks

You can under clock the CPU from BIOS by reducing the CPU Multiplier. This will reduce the clock speed. That will get things straight.

Yep, can confirm this!
If that's still making games run jittery, disable a few of the cores in the BIOS.
This may not seem like a good idea given the low IPC of each core with AMD, but if there is still an issue, maybe limiting the CPU this way will be more effective.

Thank you very much

Idk what IPC means but thanks

You are most welcome buddy. & IPC means Instructions per Cycle. that is the number of instructions(Data sent to CPU for processing) a core can process for any given time.

This is applicable for programmes with low threading capacity and which can use only 1 or 2 cores at max. Don't bother about it as of now. That's a tech term. No need to dig into it deeply.
