Games not running smooth as they should be ! Hardware problem

[John123123]

Hello everyone !

So 1 week ago I got myself a new computer with the following specs:
VIDEO CARD : ASUS Gtx 970 strix 4GB
PROCESSOR : Intel core i5 4690k 3.5 Ghz quad core
MOTHERBOARD : Z97 Gaming 5
RAM: 1 stick of 8 GB
HDD : 1 TB
PSU: 650W Gaming inter-tech

I downloaded myself some games like dishonored, bioshock infinite, archeage and Max payne. I launched the games and when i started playing my gameplay was really choppy. It was not smooth at all, like it should be. Mouse was moving really slowly but i got 60+ fps in fraps. This is NOT VSync issue. The problem is in aspect ratio and resolution. So i change the aspect ratio in game from 16:9 to 16:10 and i changed resolution from 1920x1080 to 720x480 my screen shrinked and the gameplay was butter smooth and all the problems that i am having went away. I tried setting it to 4:3 and the gameplay as butter smooth there as well. After that i thought it was my monitor so i tried 2 different TV screens and i also tried 2 more monitors but everything was the same there as well. Its a really weird issue and im trying to fix it for the past week. I would really really appreciate all the help from you guys !

Thanks !

have you tried playing windowed at 1080p and various resolutions?
might help narrow down the issue.

Well, the GPU is pegged at 100%...

The only thing that strikes me in the first post is the power supply. I looked at the reviews here and a lot of them aren't good (I know this is a slightly different model):

However, I don't necessarily see that as causing your problem.

What drivers are you using?

What are your CPU temps getting up to?

Are the Intel motherboard drivers installed? thy can make a big difference in performance.

Yes i will change the power supply as i did before and it didnt change anything i will do it for the sake of my components so they dont fail.

Yes GPU is at 100% i dont know what to do you about it.

Yes all MSI drivers for motherboard are installed. I installed them from CD and from their webiste.

I also posted the GPU and CPU specs in that imgur link under my post so you guys can check it out and see if everything is ok. The only thing that is weird for is is that everything is really high if you check gpu temperatures and usage etc... Im kind of worried

 

[Deders]

Are all you fans working? is there anything hogging your CPU or GPU that shouldn't be?

66c is fine for the GPU.

I haven't seen you list video card drivers. I would try the latest ones from Nvidia if you haven't yet.

Turn the game quality down some?

What happens with a benchmark like Unigine Heaven?
