Heya, i was having low fps in all games and i figured out that my psu is bad. My +12v rail is around 11.8-11.9 without load, with load its 11.6-11.7, i've asked around and people told me that this is bad. This is why my gpu cant get the power it needs. Is it true? my psu is corsair vs550.
Bad +12v rail?

This is not a PSU problem at all. You will have CPU, GPU, memory, or disk, possibly network that is loaded heavily. Windows task manager has a link to the resource manager. I would start up resource manager play your game when you have FPS dips tab out and see what was being hit really hard at that time.

11.4 would put you at the plus/minus 5% that is acceptable for a PSU. with the lower quality ones like you have it's common for it to drop under load but your still in the safe range.
Your GPU usage is low because .
1 your playing at a low resolution or 2. your processor is bottlenecking it or overheating causing thermal throttling the FX 6300 is a very poor processor at todays standards.
