My specs:
Cpu: i5 4430
Gpu: gigabyte aorus GTX 1080
Mobo: Asus h87 plus
Psu: be quiet pure power 600w 80+ silver
Ram: can't remember the model but 8gb ddr3
I recently upgraded from a GTX 970 to the 1080. I do see a very noticeable difference, the 1080 is way more powerful than my old 970. My maximum fps in most modern games on ultra settings are 70+, but I get hardcore dips into low 40s and high 30s, and it happens often.
Should my low quality cpu really be making such a difference and would upgrading to a better cpu and mobo (and ddr4 16gb ram) make a really big difference? What am I doing wrong
