Poor performance from a high-end build?

[RebornSAZUZAKI]

Build:

MOBO: z77 fatal1ty performance

GPU: GeForce GTX 670

CPU: i5-3570k @ 3.4ghz

RAM: 8GB DDR3 Corsair Vengeance

PSU: TX-Series 750W Corsair

OS: Windows 7 64-bit Home Edition


With my specs, I can't even run the game on High (Desktop) with a stable 60 frames. It's very unstable in cities which is somewhat expected, but even outside the city questing I get this same problem. I use Unigine to benchmark my GPU considering the Extreme HD feature on it pushes your GPU to its limits. Having FPS between 35-40 means you can generally run any modern game at 60+ FPS.

Unigine Extreme HD Benchmark:

FPS:
40.5
Score:
1695
Min FPS:
22.0
Max FPS:
76.6

My computer can run other games perfectly fine such as Saints Row 3 and Skyrim on Ultra. I understand MMOs can not necessarily be compared with non-MMO games in terms of performance, but this game is decently optimized from what I've been told.

I have the latest beta drivers for my GPU and I have even freshly installed Windows 7 trying to find some sort of problem that I could fix.

My temperatures are fine when running as well. My CPU stays at about 40C and my GPU runs at about 50C.

I got FX8350+HD7970 and I can play the game on average 55fps outside the town and in town with a lot of people I get 35fps maxed out settings (mind you my monitor is 60hz so I frame locked the game at 60fps so that I don't get any taring effect with too high fps and I am playing at 1080p resolution)

I was even able to use Fraps to record a little video on town but at the time of the video there wasn't much people running around the city but I set up my fraps locked on 30fps and it never dipped below 30fps while recording fraps with the game maxed out.


my CPU is OC'd at 4.4Ghz at 1.35v GPU at stock clocks 925/1375


here's that video I recorded, quality isn't as sharp as the original copy since this one that I uploaded is a compressed version (original file got 28Gb while this compressed version is at 298mb LOL!) anyways if you can make up the counter on the top left you will see that it's pretty consinstent at 30fps.
