MSI GTX 970 Low Performance

Hmm, that sucks. You could make sure you have the latest version of DDU I would switch to it and try one last time. The latest version of DDU is targeted at Nividia.

HELL YEAH! I changed the power setting to Maximum on Dirty Bomb, and I got a 250% performance increase! I'm going to try it on Battlefield 4 and Planetside 2 now. Before the reinstall I tried this and it didn't work.

Hells yeah, glad to hear. Hope the rest of your games respond the same.

They seem to be, Planetside 2 has seen a performance increase as well.

Unfortunately, GPU load is only at 50% in Planetside 2 and it reports a GPU bottleneck.

Damn. Sorry I couldn't help. I know the frustration, hopefully someone else knows the solution.

Is that during heavy team fights?

That max is 50 and it never goes over that.

planetside 2 is a very CPU bound game if i recall correctly...test with more mainstream games you might have battlefield 4 or GTA5 or witcher 3 maybe?

Typical for MMO game which usually Engine/CPU/API bottleneck. Use other offline game instead.

I have tested dirty bomb and battlefield 4 and they run fine. Again, it's not the CPU or GPU: my friend has a i5-4440+960 system and he gets higher frames than me. I hae a i5-4460+970 system.
