first off system specs
Mobo:MSI 970a-g43
Gfx card: Zotac Geforce GTX 680 2gb
CPU:AMD Athlon II x3 450.
Memory: Corsair vengeance 1600mhz C9 (XMP)
PSU: Coolmax 750w
OS: Windows 8 pro 64bit.

Games List.
Borderlands
Borderlands 2
Metro Last Light
Sniper Ghost warrior 2
The Elder Scrolls V:Skyrim
Just Cause 2
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Future Soldier
Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn

OK now the problem...
Ive been experiencing very low fps in all games listed above
I know there is a slight bottleneck but not to cause 30max fps in skyrim mostly 20 average in skyrim. I get about 25-50 in Borderlands 2 I do dip down to 10 or even 5 in borderlands 2. borderlands is just all around BLAH..
Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 which runs better then all of them with 35-70fps.
Ive had this build before but different mobo. except it was the phenon II x4 965.. but if I unlock this processor and overclock it its better then the 965. its go a stable 4th core with overclock of 3.9ghz. stable ran prime 95 for 16 hours.

So I need to get a second set of eyes on this... Ive tried every grahpics driver rom 314.22 - 327.23. doesn't make a difference..
Tried formatting my hard drive and installing all drivers again.
Nothing. Same thing.
Tested my graphics card to see if it was starting to go bad...
It tested just fine with me fiddling with clocks to see if the load would correspond as it should and it did.
Ive tried everything that I could think of....
So please if you could think of anything would be GREAT.
Just ask and I will answer if ive tried or haven't tried :D  ty ahead of time.

Those are all CPU-based games, and that is not a slight bottleneck, that's a HUGE one. Get an FX-6300 and you should be good.

that athlon II can't handle you gpu. phenom II is better than athlon II, doesn't matter if you unlock another core on athlon, phenom has L3 cache and unlocked multiplier. but is still held back by the processor, that gpu. put an FX-8350 and it will be a whole other system.

My processor unlocked has a L3 cache. but I was thinking about fx 8350. but ive head they don't perform as they should right now because of windows not ready for the architecture of fx series. and I don't want to pay 200 for something that isn't ready.
