Idk whats going with my pc because i have a lots of fps drops and little freezes in the game but my friend has no freezes and fps drops he has about the same pc like me.

i hope u guys can help me out.

Well, it could be a lot of factors. Remember identical machines will not always have the same exact results. I honestly don't think an upgrade is necessary. What are your temps and loads looking like? Do you ahve any programs in the background? And what is a FPS drop to you?

the only meaningful upgrade would be to a 1080 Ti but i doubt the issue is with your current hardware

^Agreed on the upgrade is probably not necessary.

Those titles, obviously, can benefit some from upgraded components (some would benefit from a CPU upgrade, but mostly it's he GPU), but your current CPU/GPU pairing should be more than sufficient for a solid experience.

Please post your full specs, and address the temps question posted by Herc08.

Also; which OS? Upgraded or clean install? Latest drivers with full removal of prior versions?

to expensive xD and that's gonna bottleneck

 

[Herc08]

Actually it would not bottle neck a 6500. And can you post the temps please? Also how did you install the drivers?

i said meaningful meaning that would be the only way you would see a difference. an upgrade from a 1060 to a 1070 would be a waste of cash

yeah that's true but it is expensive and i don't have the money for that

Which PSU?

Did you remove prior GPU drivers before installing the latest?

Legit OS? (activated, genuine)

What are you using to monitor temps?

 

[Herc08]

You honestly don't need an upgrade with those specs. It would be a waste of money...especially the 6700K. How did you install the drivers? Is there anything blocking the fans?

My cpu temp is around 57 and my gpu is around 65

i installed it with geforce experience so it is problably good and nothing is in the way for the fan

57 at idle or when the CPU is stressed?

oh sorry, this psu Seasonic M12II Evo 520W and yeah the geforce programs do that automatically and how can i see my temps on my monitor? Is there a program for that i can see my temps while playing games?

Looking at your specs, the only thing I can even see worth upgrading right now that'd improve performance is a SSD drive. Frame drops 'could' possibly be due to disk access speeds with the platter drive, but I would more than likely doubt it.

i was thinking about a ssd but should i install the games on that ssd or only for windows startup?

Windows for sure on the SSD. Depending on your free space on the SSD, you can put some games on there as well. For instance, I have HoTS on my SSD and all my steam games on a platter drive. The biggest thing is not to get the SSD too full, else performance will take a large hit.
