CPU is good for the siege mode, GPU status uncertain. I used a 1050 Ti with 4GB RAM instead of the 1050 from earlier. My i5-3570 handled it well, reaching over 144fps, though frame rates would drop to around 80fps often—about 100fps on average. Your current GPU with a 6700K should perform slightly better, but it's already running near full capacity in these tests, so improvements won't be huge. You might see less stutter and better low-end performance, but FPS will likely stay similar to the 1050 model. For a more affordable option, consider upgrading to a used 1060, 1070, or especially the RX580 depending on what you can find. RX580 models are currently cheap both new and secondhand, while 1070s are often discounted as well. All these options should allow smooth gameplay at high frame rates with lower settings (around 100+ for 1060, 120+ for RX580, 130+ for 1070).
Your system runs at high load with 70-90% CPU and 30-40% GPU usage, but you're achieving smooth gameplay in CS:GO with 80-100 frames per second.
Consider clock speed and workload, especially when exceeding 70%, may limit the GPU's full performance.
I also think about getting the Ryzen 5 2600, since I heard it could become a major performance issue. My priority is achieving higher frames per second. Based on the potential bottleneck, I’d expect GPU limitations and heavy CPU work. I’m not keen on purchasing a dedicated GPU, but I’m worried it might affect the laptop’s durability over time.
