Need help: PC underperforming

I'm having and odd issue with performance in recent/modern games, as in I think my computer is under-performing for its specs. My computer is about 4 years old with an I5 4690 and a gigabyte GTX 970. I'm barely reaching 60 fps on 1080p on low settings in Call of duty: Black ops 4, same for Apex legends and the same goes for Monster Hunter: World. I also can't seem to run Subnautica on anything higher than low-medium without getting drops. I've watched videos on GTX970 performance in cod and i've noticed people running the game on pretty much high settings with framerates above 60fps and Monster Hunter World performance was better for them too.

Now I'm wondering if my cpu is out of date since its pretty old but would that really cause me such performance hits? Or is it normal that i can't hit the medium settings mark on 1080p on a GTX 970 anymore? Any answers are appreciated.

MSI Afterburner , jam the fan speed up to 100% if it has a fan on the video card. See what it does then.

Doesnt the geforce experience have an auto tune for your settings, did you try using that to see what the geforce experience sets it as

It sets cod at medium but that doesn't run at 60fps, and Apex legends gets set to the lowest possible.

those videos you watched i would try to find out what specs they had and how they compare to you. Maybe the geforce experience is trying to tell you something....

All of them were using a better processor but would that amount to such big of a difference that i couldn't run anything past low?
