1080ti FPS problems

[BmanTheEpic]

So I've been having a whole lot of issues that I have no clue how to fix. However, my gpu doesn't seem to be operating at its fullest potential.

When I play Overwatch, I have the settings maxed out and on 1080p but I'm only getting 60-90fps. My cousin on the other hand has a gtx 1070 with a crappy i5 processor and gets 100-200fps no problem.

I've tried many different solutions, but nothing has worked so far and I'm no expert so I need guided help.

my specs:
1080ti
i7 7700k
64gb ram 3000mhz
1200w psu

Temps? Gpu and CPU

GPU: 78C, 63-66C

And I'm on Windows 10 Home

Is the 1080ti reference (founders)?

 

[BmanTheEpic]

Yes, it is the founders edition.

What resolution are you playing at? Make sure you're not using DSR by accident

 

[BmanTheEpic]

it's 1080p rendered at 100%

Do you frames capped in Overwatch? Its in display settings in Overwatch itself. If so, raise it.

 

[BmanTheEpic]

it's set to 300.

it's set to 300.

Do you have this issue (i.e., below expected performance) on other games?

 

[BmanTheEpic]

Yeah, It's below what I've heard on all the games I've played.

I assume you are running games in fullscreen mode. If I were you I would use Display Driver Uninstaller then install the newest drivers (and installing no bloatware). I would also close as many background tasks as possible to see if anything there is slowing you down then adding programs back in one at a time. If its not too much trouble, a clean install of windows would be the start from the ground up way to test if it is a hardware or software issue.

I doubt this is an issue, but if you built your own rig, I would also make sure your PCIe lanes for your GPU is not being shared with other devices (such as wireless cards or m.2 drives).

Sorry to not be of more help. I think you need to figure out whether it is a software issue by taking the increasingly aggressive steps above. If you can rule that out, you can go to the hardware level. If it was hardware, it would probably be thermal throttling, which based on your temps, it doesn't appear to be.

 

[BmanTheEpic]

Yeah I'll try the clean windows installation when I get my games backed up to another drive.

After doing a fresh install of windows it works perfectly fine! Everything is running how it's supposed to and my frames have almost doubled!

Awesome.
