Lower fps than expected in games

[theloveablemoose]

i bought a 560 ti about a month ago and I've been pretty happy with performance but i find myself lowering settings compared to those recommended in GeForce experience to keep fps within the 50-60 range is this just because NVidia is lying about the performance that the card will be able to give or is there a major bottleneck somewhere 

All drivers are up to date and here are my system specs 

AMD Phenom 955 black edition @ stock 

MSI GTX 560 ti 448 core

6Gb of DDR3 1333mhz RAM

2 hard drives one 500gb 7200rpm for OS and a 2tb 5400 rpm for mass storage (games and media)

OCZ ZS 550w psu

Hyper 212 evo

temps are relatively good never going above 70-80 on intense games and cpu usually stays below 50 

thanks in advance

Why are you running that 955 without an overclock? Them things overclock like there's no tomorrow. My wife runs hers at 4.4 in her rig

Im too scared lol my board isnt that good and i dont trust the vrm its quite shit as well as the fact i cant turn up voltages for some reason they just stay grayed out i had it running at 3.8 without a voltage increase at some point but i just turned it down 

Sorry im running it at 3.6 forgot

Try updating the drivers...also i think ur temps are high...try to get more airflow there and then have a look...

drivers are up to date and i have my side panel off for some airflow without fans but i do need to buy some 120mm fans but dust is hella annoying

GeForce Experience a lot of times is over zealous in its settings. I would use that as a base and then adjust from there.

How are ur gpu temps...?? and fan rpm...?? Also u can buy some dust filters for ur chassis along with the fans...

GeForce Experience profiles are completely off anyway. I wouldn't use them as "optimal" settings. The 560ti is quite dated right now, but still a decent card. My card runs most games fine at 1080p with some tweaks. What games do you play?

Tf2 which is fine usually get 200+ fps with it maxed out battelfield 4 and Assassins creed 4 both run below 60 even when at lowest settings

ive got a custom fan profile set in afterburner fan stays at 40% until 60 degrees in which it goes up 10% every 10 degrees

Okay...dont bother what Geforce Experience says...it is way off in many cases...and actually there can be so many different kinds of setups that they cant post performance score for everyone one of them...so if u are getting 50-60 fps with decent graphics..then thats good enough for that card....at what resolution are u playing any way...??

1080p

1080p

Ok...if u want u can reduce the game resolution and use a little Anti-aliasing probably 2X or 4X...or just crank up some settings...will give u some more fps...its up to u if u want to do it....
