I'm having big difficulties trying to get good frame rate on the pc, It cant even play low end graphics games without dropping fps to under 12-14fps, Im getting irregular scores on catzilla highest iv had has been 14000 and can never know how to get that performance back, i can post my stats on-line, if anyone has the same system or similar id like to know on your performance as im ready to sell and give Intel a go.

Tried: reinstall windows

overclock gpu only little

tried tweaking things here and there but no luck.

Go to userbenchmark.com and run a bench. It will test all of your hardware and compare to other entries. Leave a link here of the results.

Ditch it. The CPU is the weak link here. The CPU can't keep up and causes the FPS drops. The A series was never designed for gaming. Even with a decent graphics card it will still suck. My rusty core i5 2500k from 6 years ago is 30% faster in games. Dual core processors just suck as gaming processors. Rebuild on a newer platform like Ryzen or Core i5. Ryzen 3 or Core i3 builds are quite affordable and you could simply bring over your graphics card, hard drives, and PSU to the new system.
