Last Christmas I built my girlfriend a gaming PC, only problem is she runs into low FPS on almost any game we throw at it, no matter the settings in some case. So far the games she mainly plays are...
Fallout 4. 18 - 45 fps
Payday 2. 25 - 45 fps
7 days to die. 20- 40 fps
Bioshock and Infinite. 35 to high 50 fps
Sims 4. Usually hovers around 40 fps
All games are running at 1080p. We've tried 720p as well and it will make a small difference but nothing huge.
So far I've completely removed video drivers and done fresh installs several times. changed power settings to maximum performance, re-seated the video card and made sure the bios was not set to integrated. I'm not sure if the card is just weaker than expected, faulty or I'm doing something wrong. One thing I will add, is I have had a lot of issues installing drivers for this card as well. From installations failing stating an unexpected error has occured, to installations taking around half hour or so to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
