Insane FPS titles run well on a solid computer.
Insane FPS titles run well on a solid computer.
I just upgraded my PC and am experiencing more frequent FPS drops than before. Current specs: i3-4170, GTX 1060, 3GB RAM, 8GB DDR3, 1TB HDD, 550W power supply, Deepcool case, ASRock H97M motherboard. When playing Rust, FPS drops from 70-100 to 1-20 for a few seconds every few seconds. I need advice on fixing this issue and also want to know how to prepare for the upcoming i7-4790 upgrade.
It's probably due to your CPU limiting the GPU performance. An i3 isn't suitable for a 1060.
It's just old rust; you must install 16GB of RAM to prevent those frame rate drops
I understand, but I've noticed a lot of videos showing users with similar GPUs like i3 3240 and GTX 1060 3GB achieving stable frame rates without as many stutters as I do.
Did your GPU performance improve when those frame rates slowed? Run Rust and monitor MSI Afterburner at the exact moments of lag to identify any changes.
