Uninstall the drivers with DDU, download the newest ones from Nvidia and install those.

Has your performence gotten worse or was it always like this?

You're getting low performance because that's a fairly low end card.

sorry but with specs like these it's normal to get bad performance... try reinstalling drivers just to see if that changes anything but I'm afraid this is as good as you'll get.

What are your temperatures like? Since we're talking 10 year old CPU and 6 year old GPU here, stuff needs to be properly serviced once in a while (cleaning out dust, repaste etc.)

Danny -- your system is a bit on the old side, so your not going to get wonderful performance out of that machine running anything except some basic ESPORTS titles.  But as the folks above have said -- basic PC cleaning and maintenance is key to getting what you have working at its peak.  Lets start at the basics.

 

The Windows OS

- Use a program like CCleaner to remove old programs, and anything else you don't need

- Look at reducing any "startup" programs that are likely running in the background eating up memory ( https://kb.iu.edu/d/adlf )

- Only remove programs from startup that you are fully aware of as removal of some driver related programs can reduce your performance

- Increase your PAGE file ( https://goo.gl/gLtEZo )

- Update your motherboard and GPU drivers (as stated above)

- When running games on 4GB of RAM, make sure you close as many open programs as possible before starting -- like Chrome, EDGE, Firefox, etc...

 

The Hardware

- Clean out your PC of any dust or debris that might be hanging around

- A $3 tube of thermal paste -- and about 30 mins to re-apply some to your CPU/Heatsink -- if its not been done since the original paste has been put on the Q8400 it might be time (cannot hurt)

- Here is a LTT video about thermal paste

 

A fresh copy of Windows might not be a bad idea either -- depending on how long your current version has been installed (or what version it is -- W10, W8, W7, W-XP)

 

Best of luck young Padawan.
