Thanks man, I'll give it a shot

Got it, yah paste is pretty fresh, I'll give it a good dust and may buy a liquid cooler!

What else do you think is wrong, besides maybe needing to overclock it?

I was thinking about doing x10-10.5 but if my CPU temp is 70 degrees at x9, don't you think it would get to hot if I increased? I'll be running the game for looong hours, haha.

Guys, I think this may have fixed it! I went into BIOS and changed the multiplier to 9 instead of 6. Looks like it fixed the CPU issue, which is at 3 GHZ now. I am getting 50-60 FPS depending on if I'm on Ultra high or medium graphics settings in game (black desert), and in a crowded city (with...

See Capture15 - this is while running Archeage on High graphics settings. The CPU and memory usage %'s were around the same as well in resource monitor. See Capture 14 - Wow your right, it is at 2 ghz... I ran this screenshot while in Archeage as well. However, it also said 2ghz while not...

I wanted to test this theory in game in a crowded area with a lot of players and my graphics settings on HIGH. See the attached reports. Also, I am pretty sure my fan profile is fine. This is my friend's old comp who was a pro-gamer. My temps don't ever get high. No, same game. On high in a...

Yah, and my CPU usage will spike from like 60% to 90%+ randomly when I'm playing the game. Not sure what that means.

I ran the above reports in Windowed mode while running the game.

Okay I am attaching more reports... if no one see's anything odd here I think the next step is going to be a reformat? FYI - the drop off on usage on the Afterburner report was when I minimized the game (it runs at lower performance)

I actually did try another game (Archeage) on the 660 ti and it definitely had significantly lower FPS than the Radeon HD 4870. Radeon was like 60 fps, and 660 ti was like 20-30. So the plot thickens... I ran the Geekbench 3 Tryout Benchmark on my GTX 660 ti (pci-e 3.0). I also tried my...

So, I did this suggestion and updated my BIOS, then started the game and my FPS def went up a little! Thanks! However, it is still not that great in a city where a lot of other players are around - still feel like it is under performing. I was getting like 19 fps in a smaller city on medium...

This is good advice, and was one of the first things I tried. My Vsync is off currently. Unfortunately, this did not resolve my issue. I looked up many different NVIDIA control panel setting changes, but nothing helps.

Would doing the free Windows 10 upgrade be the same thing / advisable?

So... what would the best next step be?
