I just made a post at Nvidia, here it is. I also just noticed though that in GPU-Z it says I'm using a PCIe 2.0 slot when my card, and the slot on the motherboard is a 3.0.

I just build a PC for the first time not even a month ago. First game I tried playing was fallout 4, where I got 30 fps on Ultra, I was a little disappointed, thinking I'd be able to play at least 60fps with everything maxed. But then I just bought farcry primal, and when I played it for the first time yesterday, I was getting 20 fps on ultra, and 30 fps on low, where other people are getting 60fps on ultra. I thought it might be my monitor, which is 2560 by 1080, so I tried playing it on my 1080p monitor, same deal though, only about 5 fps faster. This computer is for work, I'm an indie game dev so I really need this to perform like it should. Everything I watch, it says how the 1080 is such a beast, and now it seems no better then my laptop, which has a 980m.
If I didn't need this for work, I'd definitely just have a console for gaming, my Xbox One has NO problems with any games, and it looks amazing. And those are only $300 cad, where this computer cost me over $4000 cad.

Help!

Ok thanks I will try that, It said I had 375.95, but I just checked and it says it wants to update, and it's the same one. Just wondering about that guru app, with no Nvidia drivers, and no Display Adapter drivers, how will I see the screen?

Edit: Oh and what about the PCIe 3.0 being recognized as 2.0?
Anything I can do about that? My mother board drivers seem to be pretty new.
