Hello, I want to begin by describing my system configuration. It consists of an ATI Radeon HD3850, a Core 2 Quad Q9400 processor running at 2.67GHz, 8GB of DDR2 RAM at 800MHz, a 240GB Sandisk SSD Plus, and a 300W power supply. Previously, I had a Core 2 Duo E4500 CPU on this same system, and I was able to play Euro Truck Simulator 2 at medium-high settings without issues. However, after upgrading to the Q9400, I experience slow motion-like drops in Euro Truck Simulator 2 even when using the lowest settings. When monitoring my GPU and CPU usage, I observe that my GPU is consistently at 90-100% while my CPU usage remains between 20 and occasionally as low as 10%. Is this a GPU bottleneck? I apologize for my English.

Problems involve an older GPU, but adding a more affordable option like a 1050Ti would significantly enhance performance.

Considering an upgrade to a GTX 750 Ti, I've reviewed YouTube videos demonstrating its performance with my current CPU, which show GTA V running on high settings at 60-50 frames per second.

That does not seem correct.

The video quality is 1080p, you can see it and it's genuine.

Consider the fact that he’s recording, even if it's not 60 fps in this video.

A 750Ti paired with a 4790K achieves an average of 52 frames per second in GTA V, and I doubt you will reach 50 FPS with that configuration. See: https://www.gamersnexus.net/game-bench/1...hics-cards
