    Not Sure if GPU is Underperforming

    Finally, somebody with the same issue as me. I'm not talking just video cards having awful performance. I'm talking a GTX 1080 having about the same strangely lower performance mine has. Here's my thread I made 3 months ago with the same issue...

    GTX 1080, the performance is seemingly less than it should be.

    I'm still dropping to 120fps, sometimes lower, in places other people supposedly maintain 144 at 1440p. I'll try disabled rainmeter for a while to see what happens though, hopefully I'll see some sort of improvement. As for puush, I use it religiously. I doubt it's part of the issue, but I'll...

    Startup programs: http://puu.sh/w7QXY/7d44f733e3.png And no, I have no such optimizer programs installed.

    A small update: I'm also using a Rosewill HIVE 750w. Not a bad PSU, but there's still a small chance it could be related.

    GTX 1080, the performance is seemingly less than it should be.

    So my settings weren't even set to ultra/epic, they were at high. (1 below epic) However, the render scale was 141%, which I have lowered to 100%. (and set my graphics to epic) I dropped to 120~ sometimes, in decently active fights. My CPU averaged at 55c, and my GPU averaged at 76c. (max was...

    GTX 1080, the performance is seemingly less than it should be.

    My temps are fine from what I remember, but I'll check it out when I get home. I have recently been experiencing some quick heavy bursts of lag. (though the low performance predates that) For a better idea of the low performance I'm talking about, my fps often dips below 144, when people with...

    GTX 1080, the performance is seemingly less than it should be.

    https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/6e869z/from_750_ti_to_1080_ti/di8r44w/ I made a comment about my performance, and numerous people pointed it out as being lower than it should be. I specifically rememeber turning my resolution scaling down, (in Overwatch) but it might have turned itself...

    390X: too much for 1080p, 144Hz?

    I have a 1080, and 100% consistent 144fps across all of my games still isn't possible. (even at 1080p) IMPORTANT EDIT: I meant at max settings. 144fps can be a tricky goal sometimes, but can usually be remedied by turning some settings down. So to answer your question: Maybe? In the end, it...

    i5 bottlenecking GTX 1080?

    From what I understand, there is no way you're bottlenecking. Considering your i5 is basically an i7 without hyperthreading, I can't see any way for you to bottleneck.

    Should I buy a pc now, or wait for the 1070 and 1080?

    With the 1080 being out, and the 1080 custom cards being RIGHT around the corner, it's no contest. Wait for either the 1080 custom cards, the 1070, or the 1070 custom cards if you're feeling extra patient. IMPORTANT NOTE: The preorders and actual sales sell out very quickly. So if you want...

    Nvidia GeForce GTX 1000 Series (Pascal) MegaThread: FAQ and Resources

    So if I decided to be patient a shoot for a partner card, how long would I have to wait?

    Less space than expected after deleting some things.

    SSD trimming sounds really useful. I should probably go about that. BUT, this problem is on my mechanical HD, not my SSD.
