Corsair vengeance 8 gb ddr4
CM v 750
Asus gtx 980ti strix
HP x20 led monitor

Witcher 3 -60 to 90fps
Cod black ops 3 -60 to 70 fps
AC syndicate -80 to 100 fps

All maxed out

In nvidia control panel set the default power setting to maximum performance. Its probably just running in low power mode due to not having much load on it at that resolution.

...What are you on about

These frame rates are totally fine really considering your CPU (which isn't bottleneck just so u know), you'd need the very best CPU to full utilise all the GPU's power completely (letting it stretch its legs so to say).
The three games you have put above are all unoptimised and very demanding GPU wise.

You haven't even posted full details of all your hardware usages while playing a game.

For example:
Core Temps
Core Usages
GPU VRAM Usage
GPU Usage (while unvysnced)
GPU Temp
RAM Usage

You can monitor all of these with MSI Afterburner.. you can look on Youtube on how to set it up in under 5 minutes.

GPU : 75c 99%
Mem: 1300mb
D3D11:70fps
CPU temp:40 to 48c 60 to 70% usage
RAM: 4864mb
Here is the info that you have asked for ..thank you for responding

Ye that info shows your pc is doing completely fine.

My computer specs:
-i5 4460 3.20GHz
-MSI GTX 970 4GB
-Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600Mhz 2x4GB Dual Channel 8GB kit
-1920x1080 LG monitor
-500w Corsair CX Bronze (Installing EVGA 550W G2 Gold tomorrow)
-1TB WCD Hard drive
-ASRock Z97 Anniversary Motherboard (Socket 1150)
-Windows 7 Ultimate

With my specs I could just manage 55-60FPS High - Ultra on Witcher 3 and AC Syndicate.

Your GPU is doing totally fine, its just the games.

But I saw people hitting more frames with the same specs ..I've got worried after seeing those..you can check the youtube videos

AGG :

What's your resolution?

To get over a 100fps with these games you need an i7 as I have seen from official benchmarks, also it depends on your settings, drivers, CPU, RAM, HDD/SSD (only minor factor) and of course GPU. Also many people have overclocked their GPU's without telling anyone making it seem more powerful.

I don't overclock but it can drastically increase performance in some areas.

At 1080 Ultra settings without Hairworks i get around 55 to 90 in witcher 3.

Same Card. Fire strike score is 16600. Witcher 3 is pretty heavy on the CPU and GPU.

AGG · Jan 8, 2016

Now that I've installed fallout 4 and I'm getting a 60fps locked ..and I'm pretty happy with it..but when you know your gpu can do better its always tough..and about the processor I really don't think it's the issue with the processor ..cause as far as gaming is concerned i7 will do no better than i5..

Wayfall · Jan 8, 2016

Yes it is , you should be happy your getting what your getting as many people would love to play the game at that frame rate on ultra. I had a go in the Christmas sale but my pc couldn't keep up in the villages so I refunded till they fixed more of the game. I'll play the game when the next generation of hardware comes out and I have an even more powerful machine.

Be happy with what your getting, Antialiasing, foliage distance and character distance are all big hogs on resources so experiment with those and if nothing changes then its the games fault.

What do you get on low, medium and high? Just curious.

Mike_144 · Jan 8, 2016

Fallout 4 at 1440 all set to Ultra - 45 to 200 FPS. Shadow distance and god ray takes alot.

Wayfall · Jan 8, 2016

Well I just recently installed Fallout 4 again as they have done a small patch since I last played where I got 90-100 usage in cities which is crazy and now the patch has has fixed my high CPU usage which is very good but I only get 45fps if i'm dead below the trinity tower for some reason.

Have a read of what everyone else is getting: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2843081/fallout-run.html

Wayfall · Jan 8, 2016

You'll see my updated post on their as well.

Patch release today? Your PSU is bronze quality corsair AGG?

Wayfall · Jan 8, 2016

They did a beta patch a like month ago for fallout 4 so u may already have it installed and I only just heard about it, game works better now. I uninstalled my Fallout 4 before December's beta patch.
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_4_patch_1.2.37.0.0

Yes I think his is a Corsair budget builder one. Though PSU's have no effect on gaming performance unless the PSU is not out putting enough power to keep up with the system which can cause regular crashes which AGG has not reported of any.

Well i'm upgraded my Corsair CX 500w today for an EVGA 550W G2 Gold rated one so goodbye budget corsair PSU. I was getting annoyed I with my current PSU's fan mostly, like a weird quiet loading clunky ticking noise (it is 2 years old)

Mike_144 · Jan 8, 2016

Wayfall :

The PSU is pretty low tier for a GTX 980 TI - A replacement would be in place in the future. Yes it will not effect the performance of the 980ti, but it may in time destroy the Card.

But the performance of your Card is in the green zone. It is performing as it should.

Wayfall · Jan 8, 2016

Mike_144 :

As he put above a cheap PSU can in the end kill a system or at least one of its parts, some people call this dirty power as in the PSU isn't drawing the power efficiently enough from the wall in meaning it is costing you more to run, the reason people get a good quality PSU is because of the life and that is give the PC clean power compared to low budget PSU's

Wayfall · Jun 3, 2016

Also I would like to add I have added an i7 4790K to my build now and get 60-70fps on Witcher 3 (I haven't installed syndicate) I also no longer get frame drops in diamond city in Fallout 4 as now I have a CPU that can handle it.

Low fps on 980ti..pls help
