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

I have arranged with @mubeend to meet this weekend and test his DDR3 2 x 8GB 1600Mhz Ram , and will let you guys know if there is a massive difference.
 
Following this entire thread and having had an 3770 with a 980ti, BF5 played very nicely and I had no problems at all. I was running two sticks of 8gb DDR3 1600.

It’s your RAM limit, not your CPU. BF5 runs well only pretty much any CPU.

The only reason why your CPU is running so high is because it’s trying to push and pull data from your drive to your RAM whilst being limited. It has to work harder to cache the data to the page file and that’s whats also slowing your system down.

If you were to buy more RAM, I’d suggest just getting an entirely new rig unless you can get some DDR3 on the cheap. I got my 2 sticks at R400, each.

The biggest expense of new systems is the RAM and CPU. You already have a 1080ti.

Get 16gigs of 3200CL14 Samsung B die and pair it with an AMD 2600.

What RAM sticks do you have ?

as the cost for a new rig is about R8k atm which I dont have, and will have to wait until June to do.
 
Looks like the 4th Gen is really a beast CPU

Ideally the best way to fix bottlenecking is a higher resolution...

That's exactly the reason I want to try out a 27" Dell 2560x1440p g-syc and see what happens performance wise jumping from 1080p too 1440p

I'm not much of a settings guru but I have this feeling my fps will I rease due to the monitor utilising the gpu more and less CPU.

Just bare in mind that dependant on the GPU you will see almost less FPS moving from 1080p to 1440p... see above on a 4770k they went from 147fps avg to 106fps avg.thats 41fps hit.. so is it really worth it sometimes... I game on a 34 inch 1080p,,,, and am finding it so hard to choose a 27 inch 1440p because of the viewing angle

A Hynix stick and a Samsung stick. That's about as advanced as it gets. High latency and cheap. Still, they worked. I've noticed that my gaming RAM usage is about ~54% of 16 gigs so deduce from that what you want.

Here's my rig performance in Fortnight. Sits between 80 and 144 FPS (capped). CPU is a Core i3 8100 and I'd wager that the 3770 might outpace it.
RAM is 16gigs of Crucial TridentZ RGB 3000mhz.

Edit: Average bottleneck percentage: 24.36% calculated at the Bottlenecker.

Can you run passmark and post your score by any chance.
I think passmark GPU score are affected by CPU botttlenecks. That's what happened to me anyways.
3rd Gen gpu only good up until 1070ti.

Thought there was something wrong with the 1080ti I got, but after looking at the rigs of people who scored similar to me they had the same cpu.
PassMark - GeForce GTX 1080 Ti - Price performance comparison

I expect you to score around 12500
 
Well, i noticed a few things that were disabled , no idea how, but my power was set to low in nvidia, so put that to full, checked my cpu cores was set too 1, not 8,

Went into bf5 and set everything back to ultra except vsync, bam.. a whole extra like 20fps, now averaging on 100 lowest is now 85, as opposed to 50s 60s

So that small exercise made a huge difference,

Do you have a link to the exact benchmark ??
 
Big thanks to @Glen26 for all the help today... Such a genuine guy.. came all the to my place to help install the 16gig kit.. unfortunately we did not succeed with increasing the FPS or stutter...

We will be trying a Z board in future to see if the performance changes.

So guess it's back to the drawing board.
 
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
Your answer lies here.
After putting it in better system the Fps only went up 20,which is prob thanks to the cpu.

Your card is borked.

Put a weaker card in your system and see what happens.

I have only read bits and pieces of this thread.

I will try that, My mate has a 1060 GB..... was planing to see if there was a system fault or bottleneck fault...

I even tried single 8 pin to 8 pin cables for cleaner power from the PSU

So I suppose this is terrible ??

Unfortunately my trial to pass-mark expired so cannot view the baselines they used in detail. But this will give you a rough idea of your bottleneck.
Home page | First bottleneck calculator | TheBottlenecker

Just slightly worse than I expected, but still within range. I'm into VR so I upgraded from a 1070ti to a 1080ti hoping to hit the 90fps mark.
Basically I got almost no noticeable performance increase and fell short. Your missing around 30-35% of the performance currently.

An i7 7700 will actually still bottleneck you believe it or not. There's a 5% performance difference between 2400mhz and 3000mhz low latency ram.
Once you get a i5 8600 class cpu, with a high single thread rating you'll hit a level of performance where you'll start getting diminishing returns in terms of fps.
 
I think with your specs with the card you have it gets bottlenecked like all other users said.

If I take my i7 8700k with my 1080ti it bottlenecks still with 1% I know it is less but still there is a bottleneck

Wait what do you mean borked... ?? Is there something wrong with it ?
 
Oh crap... I bought it off carb... And and I ran all the GPU benchmarks n it's on par with many of them.

I will double check everything today.
 
The card should still be under warranty.
So get in touch with the seller, explain the situation and get the card rma'd.

You’ll need to find out who supplied the card and then send it to them.

I’d suggest you contact the seller ASAP, as above, and ask them where it came from.

Also check on the EVGA website as to if it’s in warranty - if it is, just go straight to them and RMA it through them. They do offer that. You may need to ship it to them in the USA though.

how sure are we that it is the GPU ? and not my CPU ?? is there any more tests I can run to compare... the RMA is in German and supplier is in Capetown...so before I send it all the way there is there any more test I can do to make sure it is the GPU 100%

We can’t be sure but the evidence given before us suggests that it is likely the GPU.

Send it to be fixed with a detailed report of all your testing, including screen shots.

If they replicate the problem their side, it’s as good as sorted, otherwise, you get it back and you’re down maybe R400 in shipping expenses, knowing that the card is ok.

Go from there and start looking at other solutions but my money is on the GPU at fault.

UserBenchmark: FPS Estimates PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, GTX 1080-Ti (PUBG)

You should be getting about 90fps average according to the 3 benchmarks submitted for this CPU & GPU combo.

To check what's bottlenecking download MSI afterburner and install rivatuner with it. In settings go to monitor tab, and select GPU and CPU usage to show in OSD. This will overlay the % use of each while you are playing. If CPU is at 100% usage that shows that the bottleneck is at the CPU.
 
I honestly feel like the card is fine. I reckon it's just a huge bottleneck with that cpu.
Depending on settings ect, at 1080P you could have a bottleneck as high as 35%.

Your stuck in this weird place where you'll have to max the games completely to get rid of most of the bottleneck and then your fps will "seem" low because you're maxing the game.

Where are you based?
