What else do I need to upgrade to make sure my computer is running fast?

My problem is that with a computer that is actually relatively good, I still have to turn down the graphics settings (not at Minecraft, but at the Witcher, or Just Cause 3, etc.) so far that I do not feel like it to play it because it is so ugly. When they are high I have low FPS.

I have a computer with the following components:

GPU: Nvidea Gforce 1050ti

CPU: Amd ryzen 7 2700x 8x 3.70ghz

Ram: 8gb ddr4

Hard drive: wdc wd5000aakx-08erma0 with 500 GB

60hz 1440 x 900 screen

I do not think it's because of my G or CPU, so I highlighted the things that could be the problem.

I'm also relatively sure that there's no driver problem: At least for my graphics card, I recently removed all drivers with a driver-removal program called DDU, because otherwise I got an error message that my version of Windows does not work with the new grain is compatible. But when I removed all the drivers (with DDU) I could easily install the latest one from the Nvidea site.

Are there any CPUs that could also update drivers?

So if I have not screwed up the hoppers it has to be either my hard drive, my ram or maybe even my screen…

I sometimes have the problem with my hard drive that it appears in the Task Manager as 100% busy. That sounds like a problem, but a hard drive can affect the FPS of games so much.

Or do I have too bad a screen that just can't play the game nicely? Or is it my RAM?

I need help because I can't afford to upgrade everything with my budget, just one of those things. Please help me to find the problem and write, if it could possibly be a driver problem but I did not recognize it.

Well, the graphics card is definitely the bottleneck. The screen is not really up-to-date any more.

16GB of RAM are also beneficial.

An SSD does not bring you more FPS, but it pretty much speeds up the rest.

Which RAM is it and how fast is it? Which PSU do you have?

Je

For Windows and the important programs, I would still buy an SSD. The HDD slows down the system.
For gaming, the GTX 1050Ti is sufficient, but rather at the bottom.

The graphics card is clearly the problem. Also, it would generally help to get you an SSD. That does not help you much with the FPS, but should shorten the load times significantly.

You can also expand the RAM, but this is not really necessary for the games, at most in future games or RAM-demanding programs.

The processor is pretty good, which I would definitely leave.

I honestly do not know what my PSU is because I bought the computer two years ago, upgraded it in between, but never replaced the PSU.

Then screw him up and look. Without the info you can't recommend a graphics card. How fast is the RAM?

rh

3200 mhz

Mi

And the power supply? As I said, sidewall up and look what's on it.

rh

Sorry the pc is built so that on the side wall, where the description on the power supply is still another wall (for cable management or so…) is and therefore I can't read that

Mi

Do you have a bill or something? It has to stand somewhere. Without info, I can't recommend you unfortunately no graphics card.

rh

Okay I've looked in my Ebay bill and I have a Xilence 550 watt power supply

Mi

Nothing great, but should be reasonably enough. But depending on the budget, I would swap it.

How much can you spend?

rh

150 euro maybe 200 euro, could also wait and save if that would be more effective.

I think with a GTX 1660 you drive quite well. More RAM is not in it then.

The already has over 100% more power (= twice as much power about)

But you should also buy new RAM as soon as possible. But first read out the old with the tool CPU-Z and buy exactly the same.

Okay, Thanks for the extensive advice and the effort, really helped me a lot!
