Can a Great GPU Hold Back a Weak CPU in Gaming?

Asked By GamerZest123 On

I just got my hands on a GTX 1660, and after installing the drivers, I was ready to dive into League of Legends. While it peaks at 160 fps on high settings, I'm noticing some stuttering during gameplay, which I suspect is due to my Intel Core i5 2400. Is there any way to address this issue? I'm okay with lowering the graphics settings for smoother gameplay.

Have you checked your memory specs? That could be another factor contributing to the performance issues along with the CPU.

I had a similar setup with a 3060 and an i5 2400; it did help with performance in many games. If your CPU is hitting 100% usage, that's where your performance bottleneck is. Consider lowering shadows, water effects, and particle effects as those can really bog down your CPU.

The stuttering is definitely tied to your older CPU. Unfortunately, lowering graphics settings won't help much since most tweaks just ease the load on the GPU.

League of Legends can be really CPU-intensive, so upgrading your CPU will likely give you the best results. You could also try locking your FPS to 60 to avoid fluctuations that cause stuttering.
