Hello,
Try reinstalling your Windows.
Your hardware is kinda good and Windows may be the issue I would recommend you using Windows 10!
Good luck

Hello ersinkorkmaz20,
Before you consider getting win10, try this.

1. Check for any malware:
https://www.malwarebytes.com/

If there is, remove it instantly.

2. Download Geforce and download drivers from there. You may have installed a wrong driver:
https://www.geforce.co.uk/geforce-experience/download

3. One reason why your performance maybe low is because of your parked cores. Simply, a parked core basically means it's disabled and you do not want that. Here is how to identify if your cores are parked/disabled:

Open up windows task manager > Click on the 'performance tab' at the top > at the bottom click on 'open resource monitor' > click on the 'CPU' tab at the top > On the right you will see graphs. Make sure at the top of each graph where it says at "CPU 0", CPU 1 etc.. and make sure it does NOT say "CPU 0 - Parked".

If any of the cores state they are parked or greyed out, do this:
Go to control panel > click on 'hardware and sound' > then 'power options' > then select 'high performance'.
If you can't find it then click on the 'hide additional plans' tab and it should be there.

4. Make sure you're Monitor is plugged into your GPU and not motherboard, you don't want to be running on integrated graphics!

5. Uninstall your driver using DDU:
Download: https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uni...

How to use it: hit clean and restart and ensure you download the correct driver after!

6. Download Speccy and see if your all your parts are there and are functional, also check the temperature.

7. Take out the RAM and play games with each individual one. If the performance is better then you know the RAM taken out is faulty

8. Also ensure there are no viruses using your antivirus scan

9. turn off / decrease godrays and PhysX in game settings

Make sure nothing is overlocked.


Post your temps using speccy, Idle and when playing games.

If none of this works and you need help installing windows 10, ask so, I'll be around!

Update: Did Check for malware as you suggested, unparked 2 cores (didn´t show they were parked, but the software from the video you send found them), used ddu to deinstall all nvidia drivers and reinstalled them afterwards. Shortly afterwards i will try out Speccy and post the temps I achieve.
