My intel core i7 4790k (which i just got recently) has not been doing its full potential.I know this because all of my friends who have lower PC specs get better fps in games.

My specs:

(Just New) Intel Core I7 4790K Unlocked
(Just New) ASUS Z97-K - Socket 1150 - ATX

MSI GTX 970 4GB


If any one can help me with this problem i'd be so greatful !

I have 8gb of DDR3 ram
 


I am playing on the Ultra preset in all of the games . All of my friends who have lower system specs are doing the same and are getting better FPS then me
 
What is every important component of your system?
Do you have all the latest drivers?
Give us numbers. What benchmarks, what games, and how few FPS? What are these other systems of your friends? (Details of CPU and GPU at least)

You are saying my computer is not as good as my friends', what can I do about it. Without a lot more information we cannot help you.

Tradesman1 is asking if you have overclocked, you have not, and wants to know if your memory is running at the right speed. (XMP in BIOS), and whether your PSU is up to driving your system at full power. What brand, model, and wattage is it?

Get the free software for CPU-Z and post the pictures of the information on each of the tabs for your computer and we can work out a lot about your system.
 


These are my specs:

Processor GPU : I7 4790K Unlocked

GPU Cooling: Intel Original Heatsink And Fan

Yea i have downloaded all the latest drivers.

In BF4 i should be getting 120 PLus on ultra preset and only getting 80FPS
