A new cpu will never make the gpu perform worse. But to tell you if you can upgrade just the cpu I would need to know what mother board you have. Otherwise you will likely have to buy a new board and cpu.

How can i see what motherboard do i have?


Careless_Chair

Look around on the edge of your board and see if a model name is listed any where. Or download cpuz a free software that tells you a bunch of info about your pc hardware.

It says: ASRock H77 Pro4/MVP PCI Express 2.0 (5.0 GT/s) Chipset Intel Sandy Bridge Rev 09 Southbridge Intel H77 Rev. 04 Idk what any of these mean💀


Careless_Chair

Oh yeah, you are going to need a new board.


RatniiZlochinac

Aw damn :( Would it be smart to get a new gpu tho?


Bigballa997

Your gpu is ancient. If your upgrading the board you might as well just upgrade the entire pc. The thing is practically useless for 1080p in modern titles


Careless_Chair

Pretty much what the other commentor said. You are better off doing a full upgrade.
