I understand there are many similar questions in these forums, but I just want to share my own. I recently bought a new CPU (FX 8350) and played Fortnite, which only managed 40 FPS on low settings. My old system handled the same frame rate, so what could be wrong? My PC specs are: AMD FX 8350, GTX 560 Ti, 8GB RAM, 1333MHz RAM, ASUS 970 Pro 3, and a 530W PSU.

Have you thought about the 8350 being a weak CPU while you own a 560Ti? Those FPS seem quite solid.

You're right, your PC's specs don't define how you treat others. Focus on being kind and respectful regardless of your hardware!

Actually, unless the FX was less than $40, you'd have been better off with a Kaby Lake Pentium and upgrading later. The FX line is quite poor.

If I needed more information about the CPU, I should have purchased a new motherboard. Eventually, I’ll upgrade to a new motherboard, an Intel CPU, and a better GPU.

No one should be putting more funds into foreign exchange. You're greatly misjudging their situation. They're essentially at the same level as a basic Pentium-i3 processor.

It’s not meant to belittle your setup. It highlights the limitations of older hardware combined with newer GPUs. Could you share what chip you used before the 8350?

I don't recall the full details, but it's around 2.7 GHz with a dual-core processor.

It seems your GPU might be the problem. Check YouTube clips showing the GPU in Forbidden Forest getting around 60-50 FPS at 720p.

Overclocking the GPU could provide a slight improvement, but the effect is usually minimal and depends on the hardware and system.
