I recently built my gaming PC this month and i notice while playing games like Team Fortress, Warthunder,No More Room In Hell, etc. It runs over 60Fps at 1080 native highest graphics quality on the games i have just listed, But i noticed while playing Dying Light Demo to test my PC's performance on a new game like that and Steam's FPS counter said it was running 30 FPS lowest on settings maxed out. Which didn't appear to be that low from what i could tell. If i dropped the settings to just "High" instead of "Very High" or "medium" it was still only getting at best 50-60 FPS and never really keep stable.

I'm really concerned because from what i researched on my build and all the parts going into it, it should have no problem at all running most new games at max/Ultra settings 1080 60+ FPS. Can anyone possibly shed some light on what might be the issue here?

Also here is my pc build:
CPU: Intel Core i5-4590 3.3GHz Quad-Core Processor

MOBO: Gigabyte GA-H97M-D3H Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard

RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)

HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM

Zotac GeForce GTX 960 4GB

DEEPCOOL TESSERACT SW Mid Tower Computer Case with Side Window and 2 Blue LED Fans SGCC+PLASTIC+RUBBER COATING

As always My Thanks in advance for anyone willing to give some info on the matter.

your cpu and ram are fine in the build. the 960 is an entry level gaming gpu. it works fine for a lot of games but some of the newer games out there even kill a 980 line of cards. the game dying light is one of them. when the newerr pascal and amd artic island gpu drop latter this year wait to see whitch one is the better deal on speed and cost. then look to upgrade next xmass.

well a 960 will just simply not max out demanding games on 1080p. Dying light is nothing to shun at, it is pretty up there spec wise. Games like the Witcher 3 / crysis 3 / metro LL destroy pretty much everything besides 980tis and above.

According to this you should be getting 46 fps average, which would explain the 30 min fps and seems the card is performing according to spec.

So what would be a better GPU to upgrade to later this year? That would keep up to 60FPS+ and would i need to upgrade any other hardware for that? Or would the Mobo etc.. still be good for it?

The GPU is all you need to upgrade, but current gen cards the 970 & 380X are alot of money for not a huge upgrade and anything above is just very bad value. If you can wait until late in the year the next gen should have come down in price to give you what you want at the right price but games will have moved on to. If you must have every game maxed out and never drop below 60FPS you need to buy the best and most expensive GPU on the market and upgrade it every year and even then you will see dips below 60FPS in some games. I suggest you live with what you have and forget upgrading till late this year or longer or if you are rich get the best card there is either now or when the next gen releases.
