Nvidia Control Panel Question

[Graveboot]

So I'm trying to find the reason behind my fps in games like League of Legends and Heroes of the Storm. (Not very stressful games on your cpu). I don't run at max settings, usually high or medium. I get fps drops when a lot is going on in the game. Been through a few steps already to find the reason such as monitoring Temps in HWMonitor and turning my power settings to high performance.

Anyways...was looking through my nvidia control panel, which I never have really, and came across the "adjust image settings in preview". I have my set to let the 3D application decide. You think setting it to something different could help? Or changing another setting elsewhere? These FPS drops really bother because my rig is better than that. It's not the best but I don't feel like I should have to drop to low settings for NO fps drops.

MSI 970a G43 Mobo
AMDFX 8350
Nvidia Geforce 970 GTX
8GB DDR3 RAM
Windows 7 Professional

What do you guys think?

Both of these games are single core heavy so make sure (from bios) that all cores run on the same Ghz and that there is no boosting going on so that no matter which core the game thread is running on it will always be running at the same speed.

Other then that the more that is going on the more demanding it will be on the single core so you will always loose some fps.

Any idea how I check that in the BIOS?
