Is Core i5-7300HQ just a turd of a chip?

Idk if you still look at this because it's old but your problem is absolutely not the cou, I did research and the max q version of the gtx 1060 performs over 50 percent worse in games than the 1060 6gb and also even performs worse than the 1050 ti, so in other words you have to read the fine print, that gpu can't compete with an actual 1060

The MaxQ 1060 does better than a 750Ti and I can run those games on the Ti. Sure the MaxQ can't compete but at some point the cpu is the issue and nothing on the gpu side can fix it.

That's true but I can play those same games with my gtx 1060 which is over locked and I can maintain 65 fps so the cpu can't be the only fault

But is yours the MaxQ or not? You brought up the performance between the two. I'm just saying if the MaxQ can do it and it's not, then there's an issue somewhere and it might be the cpu.

No that's what I'm trying to say, I know I made it confusing, I have the standard gtx 1060 6gb, and the same cpu as him buty games run fine, I'm not saying it couldn't be the cpu but if it is it might have something to do with the condition of it, because mine is fairly new, and it plays the games he named without going below 60. Not trying to be rude just trying to see if I could help with his problem
