Low FPS in games, no matter the settings.

[Vasilis Xrhstakeas]

Hello. First of all english is not my native language, sorry for any misakes.

I always expirience low fps in games, no matter the settings. When i change the setting between medium and extreme video settings my fps stay the same or change only by a bit, even when i lower the resolution (with some exceptions in some very demanding games). My native resolution is 1920x1080. Althought monitor tools show the pc and graphic card to stress more or less depending on the settings, they never bottleneck each other or reach maximum settings the fps i see on the monitor are low.

The games i have tried to Optimize the most are:
Counter strike: global offensive
Heroes of the Storm
Dragon Age: Inquisition

Thinks I have tried:
Reinstalling Drivers.
Format. (Once)
Antivirus
Optimize settings on games comparing with Nvidia expirience and threads
I have never overclocked any of my components.
Defrag

I have ran monitored a Heroes of the storm game with GPU-Z today. It is one of the games that fps are between 20-30 on medium to extreme settings. While on minimum they are between 25-35. I have the log files during these games.
CPU: ~40%
GPU: ~40%
RAM: 2.1 gb
VRAM: ~500mb

Thanks in advance. Anything would be usefull.

there two issues when gaming...one is the cpu the other is the gpu. you can have a great gpu but a cheap or old cpu and you bottleneck the gpu. the same goes for having a great high end cpu and a low end gpu. for a entry level rig now look at the g3258 or and i3 if you have a local micro center (99.00) and a h97 mb (50-100.).
then reuse everything you can.

A Phenom X6 isnt that bad, and is way more then enough for a 550 Ti
