Yes! You're really good at handling that GPU. No issue, happy to assist.

All AMD processors are released without restrictions by default, especially with a 2GB VRAM GPU, which is quite limited. It might be worth considering an upgrade.

All AMD processors are released unlocked by default, which means your 2GB VRAM GPU is already quite limited. It might be worth exploring an upgrade. My English isn’t perfect, but I got the idea to think about upgrading. Will a GPU upgrade help? Should my CPU not be the bottleneck? If not, what’s the maximum performance I can achieve with this setup? Thanks for your response.

Your CPU won't limit your GPU performance. Gaming demands more from the GPU than the CPU, so your processor should handle it well. The choice of GPU depends mainly on your budget, but a 1060 with 6 gigabits would offer significant benefits.

Your CPU shouldn't cause a bottleneck for your GPU. Gaming demands more from the GPU than the CPU, so your processor should handle things well. The 1060 6Gb would definitely help depending on your budget. Would any GPU up to that model work with my current setup? It seems possible. I need to make more money soon and I think I'll see a good FPS boost if I get this advice right. Thanks!

I used an FX 8350@ 4.4ghz and a GTX 970 (similar to a GTX 1060) in many games, but it would bottleneck the GPU at 1080p resolution unless I increased the resolution to 1440p, after which the GPU usage reached 99%.
