CPU or GPU more important?

[SirPantsington]

So I have a RTX 3060 and an i5 7600k and I can get the game to have 60-80 frames the first MP match I play. But after a few games, it drops to 30-40, especially in gunfights. Are there settings I can tweak to keep the performance up or does the game require a better CPU?

R9 5900X/GF 1070/32GB 3600 CL 16 - 110-144fps in multi, 90-144 warzone.

i hope you have a 144hz monitor otherwise your pushing way to much frames, if you game "like me, on old monitor that's 60Hz" then all frames over 60 gets discarted and you don't even see them. "no matter what some say oh i can see them, no you can't because your monitor can't show them so how the hell can you see them"
also pushing more frames then you see, shortens the lifespan of your card. "ofc most of us change out to new cards before they actually die from to much, but still it shortens the life span"

edit: the longer you run at high frames the shorter the card will live, is what i mean, so why waste lifespan on frames you don't see.

Of course I have 144hz, but u are wrong anyway - its worth to have even 400 fps if u can cuz better. Its all about frame time, more fps = better frame time = lower delay in ms. Read about this, fps push is always good if u computer can hold it. @noxsa

Hmm, maybe more air flow ? I have a 12400 and 3060 and generally run at least 100 fpd, 125 is the norm.

You should be getting much higher frames than that with that rig unless you're playing at 4K.

>i5 7600k

You're 4 core 4 thread. That's bottlenecking everything. You want a CPU with 6 core 12 thread or better 8 core preferred.

Some multithreading would be ideal. I'm using a Ryzen 1600X from 2018 and a 3060, no issues. So you definitely don't need top shelf, and you definitely don't need '8 core preferred'.

aah i see we have a "response time" guy, djeezes christ i get what you saying but the fact still stands if your monitor can ONLY show 60 then you can have the response time of ONLY 60 because your monitor can only show you 60, sure if you have a 144 hz, you can deff feel the difference in 60 and or more, because you see and feel it because the monitor is caple of it.

i'll give example: i can't see or feel the difference in 60fps then 50 or even 40 to a small extent i can't feel the diff in playing at 30 but that's comming close to the human eye speed so keen and young people will most clearly see the diff in 30 and 60 but that's only on the low end, when you go 60 to 144 you will NOT see the diff BUT like you said will feel it because the response is better, its all about confusion of sencory imputs, the feeling tells you, you can see it "but its just a feeling, its the human brain that adds the other one"
look i'm not going to type all the "how it works" all you need to know is, that your brain is a wonderfull master of lazyness is "is for all of us, this is not an insult to you", your brain has evolved to add things that there is not, to not overload you. small example of this is, patch your none dominant eye and you will see that you kinda can see out the eye you closed of, witch is a feeling and the trickery of your brain in action. note not everyone can do this, most of us can.

i'm done with the science i'm not payed here to give you all lessens lol, nor em i quallifyied, heck my english is not even that good to be able to do it...

so a long but truth conversation short, if you think you see and feel it, its a trick of your brain.

ps: really sorry for my english, i learned it from reading and watching movies, never had this at school so please ignore my mistakes.

They are both equally important. A slow CPU will have a hard time keeping up with a beefy new GPU.

7600k with a 3060 is an okay pair. But not the best. This is probably why you’re seeing those FPS drops. The 7600k can’t keep up with the 3060.

You should use a 10700k and up with a 3060.

actually there is no important one, all depends on if one can handle the other. strong GPU and weak CPU is bad also a strong CPU and weak gpu is bad, i'd say they are = important.

general rule in the pc world is "your pc is as strong as the weakest part in it".

so i must upgrade my i3 10105F with what ?
i using RTX 3060

personally i upgrade a part with the best there is at that moment of upgrade, sure you create a new weaker part this way, but that's how its always going to be like this if you upgrade one part over the others.

if your upgrade is to high, because in case of CPU, your motherboard needs to suport the new CPU and if it can't you need a new mobo too... its a problem we all have when upgrading pc's. my recoment is, keep saving money till you can buy a complete new pc that is better then the one you have now, upgrading part by part is a low cost at the time solution, its not the best way to do it. but i get it money is always the bad one this type of situations. so i'm NOT going to tell you what to do "i'm sorry" i just can tell you how you should do it. i have no idea what your money situations are and how you should spend your money, that choice is all you.
