Hello, I have upgraded previous hardware with a new cpu, motherboard, RAM and windows 10.
The issue is when I'm trying to play my new games shadow of war, wolfenstein 2 at medium settings,1080p, Adaptive v-sync and FXAA, my configuration is struggling. (Low setting will also struggle)
Frame rate drops to around 30 FPS and 25ms... but that is the main concern. I have a i5 7600k 3.8Ghz Quadcore, MSI B250M Bazooka, Corsair 2X4Gb vengeance LPX 2133mhz, GTX 1050 2GB.
What I've done: Format HDD and clean install of windows 10 64 then updated BIOS to newest version (1.4), Installed MSI Live update and installed all drivers (chipset, etc), NVIDIA drivers up-to-date.
What I see is: CPU running around 40-50C during gaming, CPU usage goes to around %40, GPU is running fine.
Notes: Intel driver support does not recognise my cpu and tells me there are no new drivers to download, Intel graphics driver (7th-gen kabylake) for windows [15.47] that was released on the 10/10/2017 does not install, I get the message "Your system does not meet the minimum requirements"
Also in device manager it does not show any on-board graphics; only my GTX 1050

Any help is much appreciated, and would help me out with the stress of getting this to work.

It's a decent card yes, but not for a game that recommends GTX 1060 6 GB.

I think it's pretty simple. Your hardware isn't under performing, it's just the GTX 1050 has hit the limit. The GTX 1050 is a budget card so you cannot expect anything crazy from it.
Recommended specs for Wolfenstein 2 is a GTX 1060 6 GB GPU and I7-4770 CPU.
Your hardware is just not strong enough for these games.

A GTX 1050, although a budget card, is still a very capable GPU. I agree that your hardware is under performing.
First things first, what resolution are you attempting to run the game at?
Second, what kind of storage are you running the games off of, a HDD or SSD? If HDD what SATA generation is it (download HWInfo64 if you dont know)?

Since you are using your GPU (you do have the monitor connected to the GTX 1050 and not the connection on your mobo right?) the intel display drivers are irrelevant, you can disable the device in the device manager if you like (may be listed as Microsoft Basic Display Adapter).

I'm running at 1080P, running off of an HDD, HWInfo64 says it's Sata 6gbs, I think thats Gen 3?
And yes I've definitely got the hdmi cable plugged into the graphics card, ( I tryed just then to plug it into the motherboard and the screen wont even get a signal, so the on-board graphics cant isnt working?)
And into device manager there is no other display adapter found, apart from my GTX 1050.

Whatever storage you are using will not affect your FPS, only loading times. Your onboard card has been disabled in the BIOS and therefore you cannot see it in device manager.
