Hi i need help with a problem that i have no idea how to fix. My PC isn't bad at all but for some reason i get alot less FPS than a i7 4790 and GTX 970 together should get. For example in the Ghost recon wildlands beta i only get 20 fps on the lowest settings, basically alot of gpu intensive games i get alot lower fps than a person with the same specs has( i have a friend that has same cpu and gpu)

My PC is a HP Prodesk 400 G1( i7 4790 version, 1 TB HD, 8 gb )
I Have Upgraded/added things:
Crucial 16 GB Ram
Windforce GTX 970
Thermaltake 600w PSU
Windows 10 Pro

What ive tried/checked:
Reinstalling/Updating drivers.
Changing to high peformance mode in windows settings
Refomatted PC many times
Checked for overheating while in game, not the case
Made sure everything is connected properly

I was thinking that it might be a GPU hardware issue with the amounts of things ive tried. Maybe someone has a method i havent tried yet. Thanks

Do you have any hardware monitoring software installed on your computer such as NZXT Cam or something similar? If so, enter a game and see what it gives you for GPU/CPU Load/Temps. Another thing to try is to download GeForce Experience from Nvidia's website and try to force a driver update through that.

Yes i have Cam, i just tried out H1Z1 and my CPU was around 40-50% and my GPU was at 100% and both CPU and GPU Temps were around 45-60'C and i get 60-70 fps in fields and in towns i get 30-40 fps on the lowest settings 1080p 500 render distance(if i go higher it drops my fps dramatically) and comparing to my friend (same specs) he gets 100-120 fps, lowest settings, 1080p, 1500 render distance. I have many other games i can try out.

Remember to go into the Nvidia Control Panel and make sure the card is preferring maximum performance on single display performance mode.

Edit: While troubleshooting. If you have a multimonitor set up, don't keep it on single display performance mode for normal usage.

Yes ive messed around with Nvidia control panel settings and have had those exact settings for a while and it doesn't seem to make any difference. Thanks for the response.
