980Ti Performance Issue

[V16]

Hello everyone,

Battlefield 4 runs at 125FPS average FPS (1080p, Ultra, 4x MSAA) according to many benchmarks all over the internet. However, I average 80FPS all over the game. What seems to be the issue? Please note that:

CPU usage: 70%
GPU usage: 60%
And the Power plan is high performance.
Is this an example of bottleneck? I do not think so.

PC Specs:
i5-3570k @stock clock
212 evo cooler
Asus P8Z77-V PRO motherboard
1x8GB Kingston DDR3-1600 RAM
Gigabyte GTX980Ti G1 Gaming OC
Cooler master GX750 (750 watt 80plus bronze power supply)

You should definitely be getting above 100FPS in BF4 on 1080P. I was getting 100FPS on 1440P when I had a single card. Its likely your drivers as you mentioned you didnt uninstall the old ones first before installing your new card. Im sure thats limiting the ability to utilize your new card properly. Always do a clean install of drivers when changing out hardware.

Oh and Shock your the first person I know to say the 6700K bottlenecks the 980TI. I have not experienced it and I play quite a handful of AAA titles plus do rendering/3D modeling. Also Ive seen a test to compare the speeds of 2.0 and 3.0 and X16/X8 but there was no comparable differences. The only bottleneck is that the GPU cant utilize the additional bandwidth that X16 3.0 offers. Thus why X8 can run equally as well as X16.

yeah. As the other guy says, it may not meet the req. to be a tech. bottleneck but, I never knew it needed to be specifically one type of event to be called a bottle neck.
So, I do concede this.
