1. So after looking on the net for different information about having your PC running optimized all the time I got a little confused.
I'm not really aware of what to do but I know that a lot of PC's degrade in power after some time. So what do you do to keep it in good shape?
2. One of my friends has the exact same specs as myself except for the fact that he has a GTX580 and I have the GTX680. However in CoH he gets better FPS than me?
It seems a bit odd to me. It also happens in Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance. Could somebody clarify?
Regarding taking care of your PC:
One of the major things you should watch is always your temperatures. Once your CPU starts reaching higher temperatures (Same with the GPU), you get thermal bottlenecking. Dust attributes to heat and less airflow, so clean your case every once in a while. You don't have to be like Grub cleaning it every two seconds.
Could be a bit of things. Sometimes the latest drivers improve upon the performance. Keplar has some WHQL approved drivers on their site you can check out.
Something that also leads to lower FPS could be due to a lack of power from the PSU. Sometimes a problem with a shotty PSU. Could be due to lesser settings on his part. The GTX 680 is projected to be about 20% better, so that's about average. That and some games just run better with the older architecture. Could be a number of things.
