Terrible performance on this rig. Please help

[thatboipanda]

My specs:
i5-6400 @2.7ghz
Gtx 1060 6gb
8gb Ram @2133mhz
1tb Hard Drive
At this point i've looked at all the tutorials and all the forums and everything that could be a possible fix but no luck. I'm having terrible fps on this rig and its getting to the point to where i dont look forward to gaming on the pc everyday. Borderlands 2 at 1080p with the settings not even maxed im getting 40fps. I should easily be able to max this game. And other games like Far Cry 4, Far Cry 3, Bf4. All terrible fps not maxed out at 1080p with horrible stutters. Could it be my cpu maxed out? Cause the i5-6400 isnt sunshine and lollipops. Someone please help.

i got that cpu with a gtx950 and i can max out those games..

drivers? there was a new nvidia driver just 24 hours ago.

Do you have your display connected to your graphics card? If your monitor is plugged into the motherboard, you're using your integrated graphics and that will cause bad performance.

My monitor is plugged in to the Graphics card.

Check your temperatures, either your CPU or your GPU might be overheating and throttling causing the poor performance.

What program can i use to monitor these values?

There'a number, HWMonitor, MSI Afterburner, HWInfo64, pick one.

I've just ran some benchmarks and Cpu and Gpu temps are under control. No thermal throttling.

I'm getting about 50 fps with the game maxed which should not be happening. I'm also getting this micro stutter that is pissing me off so bad because i've tried all the youtube tutorials and followed all the forums but i still have not fixed these issues. Any fixes?
