I hope my title isn't misleading. I've recently gotten a new PC
Specs:
OS: Win 10 64-bit
CPU- i5 6400 @ 2.70ghz
GPU- Radeon RX 460
RAM- 2x8 1064mhz (singlechannel)
Motherboard- ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. H110M-R (LGA1151)

And it usually meets the recommended requirements for the game that I want to play, and after I buy those games and install them, the game isn't even pleasantly playable. For example, borderlands 2. I've tested it on https://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/requirements/borderlands-2/11408
And it passes the recommended mark. I've checked it myself and it looked like yeah, it could most probably run it on at least low-med settings on 50-60fps. Well I was wrong. On the starting area with everything set to lowest I was getting around 30-40 fps. However, on other games like Watch Dogs 2, where my pc allegedly doesn't meet the recommended requirements, I can run on 60fps+ on medium-high graphics. Same things as BL2 for CIV6, It shows that I can run it on recommended settings, but on low-ish settings it can't reach 50fps.

Sorry for the wall of text and any help would be appreciated.

Borderlands 2 is not very demanding. What are you running in the background? A bunch of Chrome instances? Are you playing on 1080p? Have you tried with v-sync disabled and using msi afterburner instead? Have you run malwarebytes anti-malware?

Yep.


I ran nothing in the background. I tried every resolution but nothing gave me a stable 60 fps gameplay. I disabled v-sync, and I have msi afterburner downloaded, but I don't know how to "use it" instead. And yeah I've scanned my computer with malwarebytes and avast antivirus a couple of times and a "full" scan on windows defender.

I might get the sysinternals autorun to check for any malware again, and I think I am using the latest WHQL drivers, since amd provides the radeon settings crimson edition software, and it says microsoft WHQL certified.

Sometimes drivers are released without going through Microsofts Windows Hardware Quality Labs, those are driver to avoid. Both AMD and NVidia submit their drivers for approval and then release them once signed by MSFT to the world.
