Hi,
I am only getting 30-50 FPS on MGSV (Metal Gear Solid Five) on 1080p even though people say I should be getting 60 FPS. I have a GTX 970, i5 4690k (stock speeds), Asus Maximus Ranger and 8 GB of RAM. I am also getting intense mouse lag (It goes smooth then it freezes and speeds up all of a sudden or it goes slow motion) while running games (FG4,GTAV,MGSV).

Help please.

Thanks.

No there is a cap you are not using 100% from any component
your pc can do so much more than it does now :/
it will never be a constant 60 that does not happen 60 is a rough number most people give out with a decent gpu, however mouse lag is not normal, can you answer a few questions.
how much space do you have left on your hard drive?
do you have any known viruses on your computer?
are you running a server os on your computer?
temps of gpu and cpu?
any other symptoms?
can you farther describe exactly whats happening?
and pchelper your fps are normal for your build
 
I have about 400GB left on my HHD. This still happens even after virus scans. Not running a server OS as far as I know. Temps above. No, nothing else. Basically, I don't have any mouse lag at all, but as soon as I start up a game my mouse works fine for a few minutes then it will freeze for a second or two the rapidly move to where I was trying to get it to go, then it will work fine for 30 seconds - 2 minutes then it will happen again or the mouse will go incredibly slow for 4-6 seconds before going normal speed (I have a mouse mat).


About the FPS, no matter how I tweak my settings it hardly ever goes above 50.
 
if im honest there isn't a problem here, that is the general frame rates you should be getting on that game from that card, allowing for texture rendering and stabilization the fps you are experiencing seem right on the expected mark.
 
Thats 1440p all maxed out and he got 60 fps :/
Also i dont think he is on latest patch and drivers as he uploaded on september 1st
 
Vsynch means you can get max 60fps no more even if your comp can do more
Should not affect performance under 60
Do you have anything running in the background?
Monitor your system with msi afterburner
Gpu usage cpu ram usage and temps vram usage gpu cpu vram clocks and such

Solution
I feel like such a derp, the reason I had the low FPS was because I had my PC set on Power Saving instead of High Performance (I changed it when I was downloading MGSV...). Thanks for the help everybody! I'm sorry for wasting your time.
