Games are becoming increasingly challenging for CPUs, which is why many still suggest using i5 processors paired with GTX 1070 graphics cards. I find it confusing for two main reasons: first, GPUs often don’t fully utilize their potential, and second, once the CPU hits its limits, upgrading the GPU becomes closely linked to a CPU upgrade, making it less efficient. Ideally, CPUs should last between two to three GPU generations.
But this occurs even when using low settings! It means low frame rate and often dropping frames.
It seems quite odd. The hardware appears to be functioning more effectively now. This likely indicates a fix is possible without cost—it might be related to a software problem, such as a driver.
