The print was captured during Cinebench execution, which explains the high CPU usage. The multicore test score was 3471, but I'm unsure if this is typical or below average for this CPU since I couldn't locate other data.

Hello, the information you provided seems to be about your CPU performance and GPU results. If my understanding is correct, your CPU appears to be functioning properly, though you're unsure how to interpret the numbers. Regarding the GPU, it's possible that a disk benchmark could affect its performance, especially if it's below average. You mentioned having games installed on this disk with an SSD for the operating system.
Based on that benchmark, your CPU shows better performance than average, which suggests it isn't significantly outperforming the norm. However, when compared to the new i5, it lags by less than a quarter, making it four times slower. The GPU performs well above half of a contemporary GPU in its class. RAM is decent for DDR3, but since you're also using an HDD, the overall score is low. An SSD would likely be four times faster. Overall, it's respectable considering its age.
Passmark's average score for the i5-4690 which is
5600
so your CPU is doing quite well.
Passmark's average score for the GTX 970 is
9642
so your GPU is doing quite well (for a GTX 970). So that's not the problem either.
I really doubt that your disc is the problem because, as you pointed out, these are old games and old games were designed with the idea that they'd be loaded from a disc as opposed to an SSD. If your HDD is old though, it might be underperforming or in danger of failure.
There's a free utility called "Crystal Disk Info" that works remarkably well. I would recommend that you download it
