Is my CPU causing low FPS

I have been testing my GPU with a load of games latley and found that on all valve game eg: L4D2 and half life 2 deat match i only get 50 FPS on 1080P all maxed out yet my mate has a GTX 460 standard edition and has same settings but he get 60 all the time only differnce in his pc is he has a AMD 940 at 3.0GHz could this be why a less powerfull GPU is getting more than my 1?

Do you have the ASUS EPU program? If it is set to auto it might be pinching your performance.

I do have an asus MOBO but dont think i got that app installed. and for first coment my mate does have same system just an AMD CPU as we built ours at same time with same spec just he went AMD and 460 i went Intel and 470.
