Low performance/FPS in games with my PC, what may be causing this?

[liamhk27]

Hello

I'm looking to find out as to why my PC has such low fps in games such as Rainbow Six Siege, even on medium to low settings.

PC components include:

Motherboard: Asrock B250m pro4
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7500 CPU @ 3.40GHz
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
RAM: 16 GB
OS: Microsoft Windows 10 (build 16299), 64-bit
Power supply: Seasonic S12 II 80 Plus Bronze 520W
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB
HDD: 2TB WD blue

Any help in finding a solution or identifying what may be letting my PC down from these components would be much appreciated!

Thanks

It seems to consistently hover around 20-27 fps in Rainbow Six Siege for example.

is the displayport/hdmi cable plugged into the graphics card and NOT the motherboard?

I have both a display port and a hdmi cable and they're both plugged into the graphics card not the motherboard.

I have a HP Compaq LA2205wg monitor at 1680 x 1050 resolution which I use as a secondary monitor (not for gaming) which is connected via the display port. My other one is a standard TV which I use as my main monitor (for gaming) which is 1920 x 1080 resolution. They are also both 60Hz.
