I am looking for some insight on a confusing issue that I am having. My current system build is the slightly aging:
I5-2500K (Not Overclocked)
Asus P8P67 Motherboard
12 GB Ram and until recently a GTX 1060 3GB video card.
A friend of mine upgraded his video card to a GTX 2080 and made me a great deal on his old GTX 1070ti. I bought it and installed it and then started re-running any games that had internal benchmarks. (Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Far Cry 5) In most cases I am seeing just a few frames per second improvement with the 1070ti. I expected a much bigger jump in performance.
Is it my processor that is holding me back at this point? I am planning to build a new system once AMD announces their 3rd gen Ryzen chips and I can then make an educated decision between those and the new Intel chips, but I thought this would be a good stop gap in the meantime and I am just a little stumped as to these results.
Any thoughts or insights would be appreciated.
