Specs:
CPU: I7-5820K @ 3.30Ghz
Heatsink: Corsair H100i V2
MOBO: ASUS X99-A
RAM: 16GB DDR4 2133MHZ G Skill Ripjaws V series
PSU: 750w Gold Edition Seasonic
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 980Ti SC
So to compare, I have a gaming laptop that has a 970M in it, and it is outperforming my 980Ti, in my desktop, on almost all the games I play. The temps on my 980Ti also skyrocket to 88°C and I'm not sure what I should do about it.
I'm pretty confused on why a worse GPU is outperforming my 980Ti. My base clock on my 980Ti also goes from 885MHZ to anywhere from 1250MHZ - 1365MHZ and then skips around going back to the 885MHZ back up to the max possible MHZ while playing games. The Memory clock stays consistent at around 3499MHZ - 3600MHZ.
I've also eliminated all possibilities of it having something to do with CPU, RAM, MOBO, PSU, since it is a new build and I took the GTX 980ti out of my other computer and put it in the new one.
The other thing to mention is that I have a triple monitor setup. All three 24" ASUS monitors, One at 144Hz, connected with DVI-D, and the other 2 at 60Hz; One connected with an HDMI and the other HDMI to Display port adapter, and I'm not sure if this would cause an issue while playing games.
I have noticed that if I have other things like chrome or voice communication apps on my other monitors, my FPS drops drastically. However, if they are on my main 144Hz monitor and minimized I get decent frames around 35-60 FPS depending upon the game, and if I have other tabs open on my screens it drastically drops my FPS to anywhere from 11FPS - 50FPS. I have a feeling that my rendering is having huge issues and something is very wrong.
However, I did just buy a EVGA GTX 1080 FTW Edition because I was sick of dealing with terrible frames and having to switch between my desktop and laptop to play games for perfect frame rate; which the 1080 should be here in a couple of days. I'm not actually sure if I will get better performance out of the 1080, but I had money to spend and updating always seems like a good idea most of the time.
Side note; My laptop never drops below 55FPS on any game, so that is what I play on most of the time now.
However, I still want to know why my 980Ti is not performing like it should be.
Thank you,
Nitro
Update:
Fixed the heating issue with EVGA settings as the fans were set to a really low setting. As of right now, my GPU doesn't go above 55°C at 44% fan speed, but it is still not performing how it should in games, FPS goes from mid 60-70's to 25-35 FPS.
Sincerely,
Nitro
