Low fps on gtx 1060 6gb Palit

[easycontrol1]

Hi i just got (you can say it) a new pc with intel I3-4160, gtx 1060 6gb, 16gb ram, 4TB of Hard Disk and 512gb of SSD. But for some reason when i play Dota 2 the fps is so much lower then my previous pc that had intel xeleron E5620 with GTS 450 and 8 GB of ram. I tried everything. Literally everything. The game on my old pc was ruunning at around 100-110 fps (low settings), but now somehow runs from 50-80 fps on the same exact settings. Can u help me, cause i know for sure that the should be running way better.

Are you still running the same screen resolution or did you get a new monitor?

Make sure the game is on the SSD and not the HDD

[easycontrol1]

Yeah, everything is the same.

4th gen i3 is probably the bottleneck

if the gpu is not at 90-100% load, the cpu is limiting it

the E5620 is much better than the i3 4160

i3 = 2 cores + ht, 3.6ghz no turbo or boost clocks
xeon = 4 cores + ht, 2.4-2.66ghz

its older and newer games do need more than 2 cores and dont make much use of ht

older games that only need 1-2 cores would be better with the newer i3 since it has faster cores
but newer games that need 3+ cores will be better with the xeon or i5/i7 than the i3

The i3 4160 is a pretty dang weak processor that's by no means new. It's older than D.O.T.A. 2 by a year, and of course an i3 is a low tier product. Even as low spec. as the game is, I wouldn't necessarily expect it to run much better than you're experiencing now.

I'd try upgrading the machine to a 4690k. That chip is still somewhat serviceable going by minimum spec of some recent games. Here's on on ebay for just about 5.66 euro plus shipping.[www.ebay.com] That'd at least move you up to the upper mid-tier of the generation.

The i3 has higher single core performance than the E5620 but it's also only a dual core CPU, could easily be limiting the performance of the 1060

how did you get that i3 pc?
hopefully for free and not bought...
do you have a budget and how is your second hand market?

[easycontrol1]

A close friend of mine gave it to me. My second hand market is good i have found an i7-4470k for very good price.

[r.linder]

i7-4770K would be ideal

You have a terrible CPU, that's the problem

It seems you didn't share with us what monitor you are using on your new computer. What resolution and refresh rate is your monitor?

[Shaggin'Wagon]

I went to find a youtube video of someone playing Dota 2 on a i3 4160 and what you are experiencing is correct: 50-80 fps is what you should expect from that game and that CPU. You can try turning down your settings a lot and it may help. Try the lowest possible settings and see if your FPS increases.

I can give you a working 4670k but you will have to find a way to ship it from the US........not joking
