Recently I have purchased Star Wars Battlefront once Battlefront finished downloading it asked me to download a driver for Battlefront and I am get really good FPS on Battlefront but not on other games like Gmod or CS:GO I'm getting 5-20 frames on Gmod and CS:GO. Do I need to download drivers or something PLZ help I'm getting frustrated.
 
Solution
Uninstall every single driver for geforce and nvidia do a system shutdown. Then remove the 970 re-seat it and double check the power connections are tight. Then boot the system, reinstall the drivers. Also as a safety check your C drive to make sure all folders related to nvidia/geforce are deleted as well. After the full install again. Restart your pc and try the games again. Also what cpu do you have?
What is your CPU? Games like Gmod and CS:GO heavily rely on the CPU, so it may be bottle necking your GPU. Also make sure you have the newest drivers from geforce experience or otherwise download it from nvidia's website (latest is 361.43 if you already have it).

Its a Intel i5 4690k 3.5GHz
 
Ya that CPU is a really good gaming CPU. Just make sure all the drivers you had for your old GPU are uninstalled and the newest driver is installed. If you don't want to have to manually update drivers every time a new one is released, get geforce experience and it will automatically check and download it.
