Please HELP !! GTX 1080Ti FTW3 Pushing 68 fps on Low Settings @ 1080p

[Whoozycomic]

Hi Guys

So I recently purchased a GPU of carb a week back and once I finally got it up and running, I was shocked to notice that the performance was really bad, it had bad stutters in gaming like PUBG, BF5 and an average frame rate of 60fps to 70fps @ 1080p... I really dont know what to do...

I have benchmarked the card prior to buying at all the figures checked out and the card is still fresh.... I then ran the same benchmark in my PC and it was exactly the same scores, yet the gaming performance sucks... :-(

Anyone ever had this same issue or know how to fix ? or solutions to get this card performing like a champ !!

Benchmarks

Superposition -

Score 9305 - Min 55.31 - Avg 69.60 - Max 89.81

BattleField 5 - Min Latency - Low Settings - 68fps to 75 fps

My PC Specs

I have attached a screenshot of the monitoring software I use and you can see the that the GPU is only at 38% utilization.....

Please help guys... Thanks again in advance..

I don't know much about this stuff. Maybe your GPU is being bottle-necked badly? I know when I switched from 8gb ram to 16gb it made a massive difference

Smells like Cpu bottleneck?
Have you dropped the card into another pc to test?

Shot in the dark, BUT your PC is badly bottlenecked. I upgraded to an I7 4790K for my 1080 to get better performance your CPU/Ram isn't going to help this card at all.

 

[Mister Wobbles]

What's the card's clock speed under load?

 

[Snyper564]

HEHE all called bottleneck!

 

[Braducken]

Why would you keep motion blur on?

I rate it's the CPU and RAM.

[Solved] Time for upgrade CPU and Ram wanted... oh shit and MB

 

[SCHUMI4EVER]

What happens on high/max? sub 20 FPS?

Yes I have, used it in my mates i7 7700 build with 32GB Ram and we gain about 20fps on average - checked online benchmarks and this card can push around 144fps easily in ultra on PUBG

Op needs a link to why people still buys 4th gen systems [emoji1787]

the FPS stays the same whether it is on Ultra on Low

Bottleneck sadly...

This, was going to try find the link. Unfortunately that card is wasted in your current specs. Had the same problem when I upgraded to my 1080 from 770. All the other upgrades followed suit....

Woah where did you get this ?? and what does the percentage mean ?? that im only using 23.61 % of the GPU

RAM
Windows is fighting you.

Pop another 2x4 in and things will get much better.

This is a massive CPU bottleneck. Rule of thumb, if the ram of your GPU is more than 2 generations above your main ram, and if your GPU has more ram than your main ram you are in for a world of hurt. You need a 4th Gen CPU at the very least. There was a massive jump between 3rd and 4th Gen.

 

[Salee]

Your CPU is bottle-necking your GPU and since you pretty much have the best 3rd gen CPU, you will need to upgrade your motherboard and CPU and maybe your ram.

 

[SCHUMI4EVER]

No that you're only using 76% of the GPUs power at best.

Except you're using even less because your system runs out of RAM first.

I think it is a great website just to double check before buying/upgrading.

If I understand it correctly (please correct me if I am wrong) it shows you in percentage how much your system is bottlenecking. Of course the higher the number, the worst it is. And that is quite high, to be honest.

@Mast3rBlast3r, sure more RAM would help but it won't eliminate the bottleneck at all.

Is there anyway to help the CPU ? without upgrades ?? and its a ITX board with 2 Slots @ 1600mhz ---- Do you think this will help drastically vs the price spent ?

if you cant OC it there is nothing more you can do to help the CPU.

 

[Snyper564]

Its seriously time for an upgrade unfortunately. See if you can get an I7 4790k best value for money and will give you the boost you need at a great price. Also you only running 1080p so you will be fine.

Honestly would waste money on your current system try sell it and buy Up from there. You made the mistake of doing such a big GPU upgrade that you forgot the rest of your system i think...

 

[TomasW]

Definitely being bottle-necked by your CPU.

 

[SCHUMI4EVER]

@Mast3rBlast3r, sure more RAM would help but it won't eliminate the bottleneck at all.

It won't but it will actually let him reach the bottleneck. At the moment he's not even doing that.

here anyway to help the CPU ? without upgrades ?? and its a ITX board with 2 Slots @ 1600mhz ---- Do you think this will help drastically vs the price spent ?

Since you have 2 slots....no... 8GB 1600mhz sticks will cost a ton VS just upgrading everything.

i would still to do light gaming.
if you have a 1080 you should be in the 6th gen range (if im not mistaken)

there are exceptions to the rule of thumb. The I7 4790k is one of them its a beast that gives some 7th gens a run for their money...

Check your Nvidia performance settings as well, ive often found the setting on optimal power..
