Hello.
Sometimes i feel that some games here should be running better, based on benchmarks from other people i see on Youtube. I always aim to 60 fps, so occasionaly i set some settings on medium to get it and thats fine for me, no big deal.
But now, past a year and a half that i got this PC, i have a small list of games that not ran so fine here, and i getting a little worried about this.
My Specs
Gigabyte H81M-A (Micro ATX) + Intel i5-4440 (3.3 Ghz) + 1x8 GB DDR3 1333Mhz Kingston
Zotac 970 GTX (Standard Clocks) + Akasa Venompower 550W (80 plus)
SSD Kingston UV400 240GB + WD Blue 1 TeraByte
Windows 10 / 64 bits
One of the best examples i can give it's WITCHER III
> Witcher 3 GOG Version 1.22
In most areas i get 60 fps, but some areas keeps dropping to 50 sometimes. That's fine
But in Novigrad i get arround 40 FPS in the Main Square, 45 FPS Average in the city.
Lowering Graphics to minimun dont give me more than 5 FPS, so i tought it was CPU Bottlenecking, but searching in youtube i saw very similar system running fine in Novigrad.
This one for example:

(i5-3330 + GTX 970 + 8 GB RAM)
As i said, i tried lowering graphics, set Nvidia Hairworks Off, and of course, close all background applications, but nothing. The VRAM never went above 3.5 GB, so wasnt that either.
I also played this game (version 1.10) last year on a Windows 7, was the same thing, about 40~45 fps in Novigrad.
The other games i mentioned was:
> Rise: Son of Rome - I had some serious troubles running this game, mostly in the woods levels, i got 25 FPS almost the entire level, freezing and stuttering like hell. And again, looked in youtube similar sistems running and was 50~60 FPS smooth in their machines.
> Dragon Age Inquisition - I had frame drops EVERY time i turned camera arround, was really annoying.
> Assassins Creed Unity - This one is a mess for everybody , but was even worse here. Dont recall any areas in paris that i got close to 50 fps. (Even in Lowest Settings + 720p). 25 to 30 FPS almost all the time and heavy freezes.
Had some other games that i dont remember now and they wasnt so bad, but still was under the expected performance.
Sorry for the long post, but i live in Belo Horizonte \ Brasil. Not a small city, but not a big one like Sao Paulo . So i dont know where i could take this PC and ask about that.
Tech Shops here aim more to basic pc stuff, not gamming stuff.
