Are you recording? What game is it? Is v-sync on? What settings are you running on? Is the game cracked? If so that's because cracked games are harder to run.

You're using an Nvidia card.

Try using ShadowPlay to record your gameplay.


Failing that, you can always open the resource monitor and the monitoring page of GPU-z and see what is spiking.


Also, what device are you recording to?

If you're using FRAPS (don't use FRAPS, it records like 20Gb per second of video), So if it's the video skipping it could be the drive you're recording to.

Sorry, derp. I don't know why I thought you were recording. (it was a long day yesterday.)

I'd suggest running an industry-standard benchmark in order to compare your system against others.

Userbenchmark should give an indication if the various components of your computer are under performing against other people with the same components.

Download, run, paste link to benchmark run.

hey guys thanks for all the help. It turns out the main two reasons my games were having such low fps are the 4x2 and 8 gb sticks having problems with eachother and a system reset had to be done.

Thanks for all the help everyone i really appreciate it ! :) :) :)
