With the default settings. To get more FPS you're going to have to reduce effects.
Remember the defaults push the cards hard and many get about 30 on defaults. So 45 on defaults sounds above average.
My computer is running
i5 2500k 3.3GHz -CPU
Geforce GTX 960 -GPU
one 8GB Dimm -RAM
from my knowledge it should be running most new games fairly well but in a lot of games like GTA V it fails to run it on the default settings with a constant 60, its 45 if I'm lucky half the time. My computer struggles with most things even though it should fly through with no problem... Has anyone got any ideas of what the problem could be.
Side note(s);
The computer was put together by me with no outside help (alright job considering my age, cable management is garbage though)
