I have a AMD FX 6300 and a gtx 760. If I overclock my fx 6300 will I get a big fps increase?
When I play TItanfall with everything on high except ragdolls and shadows(they are set to low) amd x4 msaa my fps drops to 50 when i shoot my quad rocket. If a titan blows up next to me it can fos as low as 28. So will overclocking fix that or should i buy a better cpu?

Thanks a bunch!

overclocking your cpu at best will give you a slight increase in lowest frame dips. But more importantly, what is your current cpu usage while gaming? My laptops i7 4700 goes as high as 60%, my 8350 overclocked to 5.2 or even 4.8 gives 40-55% usage. If your 6300 is being maxed at 100% then overclocking should make it perform better. If its not (which I don't think it is) then at minimum your lowest fps might go from 28 to 29. Games like titanfall are extremely gpu bound. Yes a good cpu is needed, but is only going so far. Gaming usually gives 50% cpu but 100% gpu usage. Gettinga better gpu will still max the gpu out, but also use more cpu power as well then. Doesn't go the other way.
