Bad Hardware Status

[2kyx]

Hey,
I recently tested my Hardware at UserBenchmakrs.com and is seems that my system performes pretty poor. As I did understood it could possibly perform much better but I cant figur out why oder how it does.
Maybe some of you have a little better understanding and can help me out.

I hope you can see all the info needed

UserBenchmarks: Game 24%, Desk 39%, Work 24%[www.userbenchmark.com]
CPU: Intel Core i5 650[cpu.userbenchmark.com] - 42.3%
GPU: Nvidia GTX 750 Ti[gpu.userbenchmark.com] - 26.2%
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB[hdd.userbenchmark.com] - 55.6%
RAM: Unknown 12GB[ram.userbenchmark.com] - 30.3%
MBD: MSI P55A-G55(MS-7668)[www.userbenchmark.com]

Especialy the GPU is performing very bad and I would like to improve it.
I upgraded my GPU and RAM latly. Which part would be best to switch out next?

Ouch, those results are shocking.

There are a few things you can do.
1. Check your drivers. All of them, including, but not limited to Mainboard, videocard, sound, network, everything that has drivers.
2. Your BIOS is not the latest one, you could try getting the latest version:

It's quite old tech, looks like you upgraded the graphics card at some point but this is also starting to get weak by today's standards.

If you upgraded your GPU recently it wasn't to a very powerful one. You should have gotten a 1050Ti instead.

The i5 650 is also somewhat dated and won't work well in modern games. I don't know what games you want to play with it though. If youre looking at recent games you may want to think about a new system build and sell what you can, keep the hard drive.

Those benchmarks are based on 100 computers using the same hardware. So he's compared on equal terms and then those results are not good.

wtf didn't the i5 6500 came out like last year? How exactly is it outdated already?

Not i5 6500

No that doesn't seem to be how that website works at all:

But seriously, who would anyone go to some place like this to 'test' their PC?

Honestly
Performance differences between that system and others probably have to do with other aspects, not specifically with the hardware.

And with the age of that system its really not surprising, especially at 1920x1080

my old pc, just turned on after 1 year and tested...

edit: i would not put my new rig on that site. maybe ill post my pcmark link.

If you want to change the RAM, I'd advise against it. Your CPU uses DDR3 RAM, and since you mention you have 12GB, that's more than enough for day-to-day work and gaming.
A RAM upgrade would mean you want to jump from DDR3 to DDR4, which would then require you to upgrade your CPU and Mobo as well.
For now, I'd say get a new GFX card if the 750Ti isn't handling the games that you play.

Moreover, that website isn't a good source of determining performance measuring.
I know people that are still using Phenoms and Core 2 Duos/Quads even now for 1080p gaming but with current gen graphics cards. So your CPU, while certainly quite old isn't obsolete, yet. In all honesty you can still squeeze a year out of it.
Swapping your current GPU with a new GPU(depending on your budget) will get you some decent performance.

[cSg|mc-Hotsauce]

wait until amd releases the vega line and go from there.

or if you must, a 1050ti will do fine at ~$150 for now.

No point in putting a 1050 Ti on that
While its better than the 750 Ti it would probably cause a bottleneck

[cSg|mc-Hotsauce]

better a card now, than a mobo + cpu + ram and still have to get a gpu after that.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

The entire system doesn't really have any good upgrade paths.
Even if you stick say GTX 1050 Ti in it; the system still wont handle games like Witcher3 well at all. Best bet is keep this system as is for lower end apps/games/everyday needs; and start saving towards building a whole new machine with modern parts.

[2kyx]

Well thanks everyone for your opinion :) Actualy I'm pretty happy with my system even if its not up to date. Its running alle the games I want to play on fairly good FPS and witchout lags (mostly Witcher 3 atm, at ~60 fps obviously mot at ultra settings but still)

So then why were you worried? LOL.
