Hello everyone!
I don’t have much experience with builds or matching components for a motherboard, so I’m reaching out for advice.
My main game is Fortnite, and my FPS stays around 144hz thanks to my monitor. Everything is configured low with a stretched resolution. Despite that, I still experience big drops in FPS during combat, so here are my details to help you identify what might need replacing for better performance and maintaining the 144 fps level.
Processor: i5-4440 3.10GHz
GPU: ZOTAC GTX 1050ti 4GB OC Edition
MOBO: Gigabyte B85-HD3
Power supply: 500 watts
RAM: 8 gigs of DDR3 1600MHz
Fighting is typically the most challenging aspect of shooting games to display. Both your GPU and CPU may face difficulties achieving higher frame rates, as the CPU's performance and the GPU's capabilities limit their efficiency.
The CPU's performance is consistently near 90%. Playing Fortnite at 80-70% usage most of the time doesn't seem significant since it rarely causes crashes or freezes. What kind of CPU would complement your GPU best?
I completely understand, but it can become quite challenging in certain situations, honestly. So yes, getting another GPU and CPU might be a good idea, even if you're using very low settings or resolutions.
I operate at a high resolution of 1080x1080 and all settings are configured for low output.
