Hi, I was wondering if my PC is under performing or not. Here's my PC specs:
ASUS GeForce GTX 660
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU
4GB RAM
Windows 8.1 64bit

I run games like Battlefield 4 on lowest settings with average 20fps and ~30fps on Battlefield 3 running medium/low settings. League of Legends runs on ~30fps on medium settings. Is my PC really that bad or is something wrong with it ?

You might want to increase your ram to 8GB that could help a little bit. Other than that the GTX660 By itself isn't all that powerful when it comes to Battlefield 4 but it should run league of Legends no problem.

Update the drivers to the newest Beta ones from Nvidia's site, and make sure your screen is plugged into the GPU, not the motherboard.

Download CPU-Z and GPU-Z and Speedfan. GPU-Z and speedfan has logging modes where you get info on temps and on GPU-Z even load during a period.

My drivers are the newest ones, they don't seem to help. How do I know if my GPU is connected to my screen though ?

There's two sets of video outputs on your PC. One set is on the GPU, which is the narrow bits perpendicular to the board. The other is the motherboard, in with the USB ports etc.

You want the separate ones on the GPU.

Yeah, my GPU is plugged into my monitor. Anything else that I should try ?

My GPU stays at around 50 C when playing Watch Dogs so I don't think it's an overheating problem.
