Hello!
I am looking to upgrade either my GPU or CPU however I am not sure which would benefit me the most. My goal is to get more FPS on games like The Witcher 3 which I am currently getting on average about 30 FPS, however on lower settings. My goal is to get this to 45-60 FPS on higher settings. I am considering upgrading both CPU and GPU if necessary however not if only upgrading one would be adequate for my goals. From what I have read regarding my current CPU it could be causing the issue however I also read GPU's have a lot to do with frame rates and graphical settings.
Here is my current build:
Processor: AMD FX-4100 Quad-Core Processor, 3600 Mhz, 2 Cores, 4 Logical Processors
Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 6950
Motherboard: Gigabyte Technology, Model: GA-970A-D3
RAM: 16GB DDR3
Power Supply: 800W Corsair
I have also attached screenshots of these components in CPUID and GPU-Z:
GPU:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Memory:
SPD:
I am currently looking at possibly the EVGA GeForce GTX 970 Super Clocked ACX 2.0 4GB GDDR5 Graphics Card and Intel Core i7-4790K Processor (8M Cache, up to 4.40 GHz) as replacements. Let me know if there is any other information I can provide and thank you in advance for any help!
