In my current setup the specs are CPU: Intel Core I7-6700, GPU: GTX 1080 Ti, motherboard: H170 Pro gaming board, RAM: 16GB DDR4. My main concern is whether performance matches expectations. I often see frame rate drops in games like Fortnite and CS:GO, especially at higher settings. The GPU seems to be limiting the experience. I’m wondering if the GPU is slowing things down due to the CPU or vice versa. At 1920x1080 at 144Hz, a GTX 1080 Ti might feel a bit too much for smooth gameplay. Should I consider swapping it for something cheaper or upgrade the CPU instead? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.

It could limit your performance if you're using DDR4 2133.

I don't have specific details about the build, but generally, a high-performance DDR4 RAM would be suitable for this setup.

2666 could significantly assist, and I think that's the highest supported speed for h170 xmp profiles.

Increase the RAM and upgrade the CPU for better performance.

For a smooth experience with room to upgrade, choose a B450 motherboard. Pair it with any Ryzen 2nd or 3rd generation CPU that supports at least 8 threads, and equip it with 16GB or more of 3200MHz RAM in two or four sticks.

You have 16GB of DDR4 2133 RAM, so upgrading to 2666 might make a noticeable difference.

For the high refresh rate you're aiming for, it would significantly improve performance, especially by enhancing your low frame rates.

I'm uncertain if the motherboard can handle rates above 2133.

The documentation only lists 2133 as the supported value. I purchased an H170 myself for a side project, so I’ll need to check the 2400 kit next.
