So to start off lets start with my specs:
Motherboard - Gigabyte ga-z97p-d3
CPU - Intel i5-4690k (Overclocked to 4.5GHz!) Temps all fine when running stress tests. Don't go no higher than 70!
GPU - Asus GTX 970 OC
HDD - WD 1tb (blue)
Bootdrive(SSD) - 120gb Kingston
8gb DDR3 RAM
I built this a while back and upgraded some things on the way (Cooler, hdd and ssd) Its always been some what slower than i assumed it should be and after looking about on reviews on the exact same PC without the overclock i noticed my Frames are no where near what they're showing and i even run the games with lowers settings that the videos! All my drivers are up to date and the PC is very often cleaned using compressed air and HDD defragged to make sure its running as best as i can get it.
Games i play that i think I'm not getting the best FPS on
GTA V - I get around 50-60fps during the first hour of playing. Then after that i drops to 40-50, its very noticable and has fps drops some times down to 20fps just when driving around. Looking at videos with the same spec, it runs silky smooth without a issue
Just Cause 3 - Game runs at 60fps for about 10mins, then after fps goes to 30-40 sometimes reaching 50. But never any higher, once again. videos show solid 60 constantly.
The Sims 4 - Runs smooth most of the time, but every so often for about 5mins straight my frames will half to 30 and its very irritating!
Rust - I understand this game is not as well optimized as the other games, however this game use to run very good on highest settings, I've recently built my brother a PC with almost identical components, just with an i7 3770 rather than my i5 4690k. He runs it a lot smoother than mine on the same settings getting around 60-80fps. And I'm sitting on 40-60fps.
I've been looking for a fix on multiple forums for weeks now and never seen anything. Thanks very much for reading and every reply helps.
