Hi Everyone, Currently i am using MSI Z97 GAMING 3 ( https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/Z97-GAMING-3/Specification) , 2 x 8G DDR 3 (1600mhz), INTEL i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz & EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 SC GAMING GPU. Games like PUBG, gives me Bad FPS and a friend of mine told me my CPU might be bottlenecking my GPU. Any advice on this? If that's the issue i would like to purchase an EVGA motherboard, CPU and RAM. Would like some recommendation on what type or model to purchase for the following. My budget is on the MID-end range end. Thank you!

1080p does Not put much of a load on the GPU - that can make it harder on your CPU Have you tested to see if turning your in game setting Up - might actually Help (counter intuitive I know) By making the GPU work harder it can "free up" the CPU Will Your CPU Bottleneck Your Graphics Card?

I just tried, the FPS still kinda fluctuates more like as when there are more players clustered together or in a wide area with more structures. Any idea on what might be the cause? For a more stable game play..

Browser ? Turn off hardware acceleration Might just need to update your GPU it has a larger load than the CPU in your picture

Cool GTX Maybe another member who plays PUBG or any forums for that game may have other ideas If you discover a secret sauce Answer to make it play better - Report back & share  Happy to Help  Give this a Shot ---> How to easily get more performance from your CPU than overclocking, without overclocking
I tried process lasso and when i click on the top running process, then go down to the bottom process, and holding down the shift key click on that, then right-click and then set the affinity for all the processes, my PC hanged (after setting them to affinity 0 & 1) tried a few times and had to force reset. I think it's not compatible with my CPU For sure i will update if i found the secret  Thanks for you help!
