Hello Friends!.
So i built a new pc first time on my own 
Specs:
AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-Core Processor 4.00 GHz
Ram: 8 gb Hyperx
64-bit OS
msi 970 Afterburner MB
Nvidia EVGA gtx 960 2 gb GPU
700 Corsair PSU
Monitor: old hannsg monitor, (i hope this is my issue)
 
i basically upgraded from an old pc to this so i can play this game called H1Z1 but when I get into the game, my fps is somewhere in between 25-35 in PV. PV is the area where alot of people and buildings are for those of you who dont know.
i also ran a valley benchmark 1.0 and was averaging somewhere between 15-35 fps nothing past 40
i freshly installed windows 7 Home Premium today with the hopes that it will run faster than my old windows 10 but no luck after fresh install all i did was download newest Nvidia Driver and installed it and used the cd that came with my msi motherboard to install some drivers like KIiller network and some sound drivers.
I dont know much about software but i think that items that i bought should run my game better than 25 fps
I also tried changing some settings in Nvidia control panel i used this guys video 
tried switching to power mode in advanced settings in my computer but no luck please help me out with this.

this is what i got with the first test
Graphics score 8003
test 1 37.99 fps
test 2 32.10 fps
Physics score 2625
test 8.33 fps
Combined score 670
test 3.12 fps
 
Your score was invalid for the following reasons

#1 Check and make sure the gpu is clocking up to its advertised speeds.
#2 Check and make sure your cpu/gpu isn't overheating.

Yes, you can use msi afterburner to get all the info. Under the msi afterburner hardware monitor graph you'll need to be looking for... GPU1 Temp, GPU1 Core Clock MHz, GPU1 Memory Clock MHz, & CPU Temp. Leave afterburner running in the background while you play the game and report the latest values from each one so we can see what is going on.

Thanks alot for helping guys im gona run around pv right now while afterburner going. How do i send you the results? 

Just open the msi afterburner hardware monitor graph and report the current values from each one after running the game for like 10 minutes.

GPU TEMP MIN 38 MAX 41
CORE CLOCK MIN 1278 MAX 1278
MEM CLOCK MIN 3506 MAX 3506
CPU1 TEMP MIN 18 MAX 22
RAM USAGE MIN 1762 MAX 5421
PAGEFILE USAGE MIN 2106 MAX 6186
this is after running around in pv for 10 minutes
 
BTW my drivers are geeforce gtx 960

Looks good. Try putting render distance to 1500.

i had it at 350 running around pv at 3000 i was getting 12 fps so i changed that
i have oc genie on also if that helps

Disable it just to check and see if you get any improvements.

Sajin
How does your fps look at 1080p? 

not much better id say it looks just about the same
i already ordered a new monitor from newegg today thinking it might be part of the issue

Pretty sure the monitor isn't the issue.

i dont doubt your knowledge. You seem like a nice guy here. iv read a few of your posts and replies from other people look pretty darn good 

If you're still having problems after doing the above steps please tell me all cpu temp values listed in msi afterburner after playing the game for 10 minutes.

Physics score should be around 7900. Combined score should be around 2600.

You should also try doing #1 & #2 listed to see if it helps bring up your fps.
 

So i disabled genie and that did not improve anything. Also i installed a fresh copy of windows 7 home premium yesterday and upgraded to service pack 1 today

Load into the motherboard bios and reset bios to default settings. That should fix the problem if your bios settings are all messed up.

Sajin
If resetting the bios doesn't fix the issue could you please tell me what motherboard you're using? Also recheck your cpu temps using .

so when i try to run core temp it says driver failed to load operation will not continue 
and when i went in bios and tried finding the option to reset it there was none. i have 
MSI 970 Gaming motherboard

hi legendary, looks like sajin has got you covered & he's definitely right -- your processor seems oddly low in the benchmark. for comparison if you wanted a ballpark one:

if you're still unable to run core temp, you could grab AMD Overdrive to check your processor status.
