A few months ago during while playing a game of Smite on my desktop my usual Fps of 120+ dropped down to 30 - 40 permanently. At the time I thought it might have been a one time thing but since then my fps has stayed in that 30-40 range. This sudden heavy fps drop is also happening in any game I play. There is no fps fluctuation it it just always low. I've tried many things such as clean install of my drivers, many different scans and the like. I honestly don't know what to do.

AMD FX(tm)-6350 Six-Core Processor @ 4.20 GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760
8.1 Gb
 
Solution
I would say get 'Driver Sweeper' and use it to remove all AMD/Radeon/ATI display drivers and anything associated with the graphics card.

Then restart the pc and go on AMD's official site and download the latest driver.

Answer 1-i have a fx 4130 and a gtx 760 and 8 gigs of ram i feel your pain, at the start of a MOBA or RTS game they're isn't much going on but in late game your ps drops because most if not all rts/moba games are optimized for 2 cores, but when mine drops in Starcraft II it drops to ten or 5 and i lose games because of the FX series low single core speed http://cpuboss.com/cpus/AMD-FX-6350-vs-AMD-FX-4130.

answer 2If your fps used to be high and it randomly went low and your average all the time is low, then revert to a backup from before your fs was dropping

Can't revert to a back up because it's been too long. Also my fps drop is permanent. As in it never goes up to it's old numbers at anytime. Just constantly under performing.

are you sure? your pc should auto back ups, if you need to move important stuff to a USB and then do it maybe? so that way it cant revert things on your USB, have you noticed any signs of a virus?

what OS do you have?

also check in your task manager and see if anything is using alot of memory that normally doesnt

try to defrag your hard drive and also if you havent already unpark cores for a performance boost once you get this all fixed

If by back ups you mean system restore then yea it's been too long the restores won't go back to before the drop. I have Windows 7 Ult currently. I've tried the unparked cores but there was no change in performance, also I'm virus free. I'll try the other things you mentioned.
