Hello, your question about the Intel i5 3450 and its impact on your MSI Gaming GeForce GTX 1660 Ti is important. Based on your setup—playing Modern Warfare with around 80fps on low settings—it seems your CPU might be limiting performance rather than the GPU itself. Make sure your GPU has enough VRAM and power, and check for any driver updates or system bottlenecks.

Verify your setup with MSI Afterburner.

I personally use an I5-3570K with a boosted setting and occasionally it slows down my graphics card. Upgrading your processor seems like a solid solution, especially given your 1660TI can handle 1080p gaming smoothly.

The i5 3450 causes GPU issues. You’ll need a different CPU.
