Very low FPS in some games on a really good computer

Hello everyone,

I have a pretty good computer that I've built and for the most part it runs amazing. However I've noticed that there are a couple games that give me extremely low FPS when I play, even when not on max settings and antialiasing disabled. Some games like DayZ or FarCry4 I get down to 18 FPS when I just walk around. However I've run games like Dragon Age Inquisition just fine at 60 FPS on ultra. I've also tried running the Valley Benchmark test on highest setting and average 80 FPS or 60 with Vsync enabled.

This really has me stumped and frustrated how some lower end games are causing my rig so many issues so I greatly appreciate the help.

Here are my specs:
Intel I7 4770k @ 3.5GHZ
Two Nvidia GTX 770 4GB
16GB DDR3 Ram
1000W Gold PSU
Asus Z87 Sabertooth Mobo
Samsung 840 250GB SSD
1TB WD Black

Thanks again everyone.

Wouldn't an SLI error not be the case since I have games that run fine and the Valley Benchmark which runs fine as well? Or is this a low amount of FPS considering what I should be getting?

Also my drivers are all up to date.

For about a year I had just one GTX 770 in my computer and later upgraded to 2. I had the same issue back then, I just figured I needed more graphics power.
