Hello dear community,

I've got a problem with overal game performance.
To begin with at first I noticed it with Skyrim, I had like 30-50 fps on the highest settings, I thought I'd have more if I tune then down, so I did, but on lowest settings it was all the same.
I turned on MSI to see, and my GPU was always below 50%.
Next assasin's creed 3, was really awkward, same situation low fps, low gpu usage, but If I looked in ground my GPU usage would go higher and if I looked far it would go even lower.
I don't know what's the cause of the problem because my friend has bought the same PC, and he hasn't got those problems.
I tried reinstalling drivers, downloading Game Booster, CCleaner and many more, but noone did help. The temperatures are always below 55C so I guess it's not overheating and I doubt it's bottleneck because my friend has got the same PC and runs those games just fine. Also Mortal Kombat 9, 100% cpu usage 30% GPU, same on highest and lowest settings and same FPS also.

PC Specs:
CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) X2 340 Dual Core Processor (2 CPUs), ~3.2GHz
RAM: Memory: 4096MB RAM
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6570

have you tried updating the BIOS? also i wanna say "Bottleneck" skyrim is a cpu intensive game, and well that CPU is awful (Dont mean to be rude) and AC3 is an un optimized mess. Your freind may be getting better performance because perhaps he is playing at a lower resolution?

Well I haven't tried updating the BIOS but I think it's up-to date, it's MSI Click BIOS.
We both played on same resolution and same settings with identical PC's, his PC outperormated mine a big deal.
Also Mortal Kombat 9, 90% CPU, 40% GPU usage, but Street Fighter X Tekken 90% CPU 90% GPU, but the thing is that in Mortal Kombat I get 30 frames while my friend gets 60+ and my frames are all the same on Ultra and Lowest graphics.
