Hello all,

I have a system with the following specs:
MSI GTX 670 OC PE (Not overclocked)
i5 2400 (3.1 GHz)
Antec 550W PSU
24GB DDR3 RAM

With the configuration above I'm experiencing severe lag on Batman Arkham Origins, Assassin's Creed 4, and even the Witcher 2 all on high settings.
Used GeForce Experience to optimize these games and it still caused lag.
I just ran FRAPS on Arkham Origins and it sometimes stayed steady at 30, but when 'events' occurred (cut-scenes, change of environment, multiple enemies on the screen), it dipped well into the 10-20 range and stayed there for some time.
I also have the latest graphics card drivers installed.

Is this expected or should I start investigating this issue further, any advice would be helpful, thank you.
 
try using msi afterburner (paired with hwinfo64, cant remember), or somehow check the utilization.
is your cpu causing a bottleneck? but i doubt
how's your temps? check those also
i also have a 670, but i have a 2500k @ 4ghz

in ac4, from what i have heard, that game is poorly optimized, in witcher 2, make sure to disable uber sampling and see what happens
