Hi,
Around Christmas time I upgraded from a GTX 970 Graphics card to a GTX 1080ti, and I've found that my performance gain has been quite minor, with there being hitching and much lower fps than I was expecting in certain games.
For example, I recently bought Far Cry 5 and have been playing through it, and although the game has been using only 3-4GB (according to the game's menus) of the 1080ti's VRAM, the game sits around 40-50fps with occasional increases into the 60 area when inside a building.
I've also found this to be a similar case with other games, such as Elder Scrolls Online, The Witcher 3, Black Desert Online, Divinity: Original Sin 2,Battlefield 5 (Which had abnormally high CPU usage with it maxing out a lot) to name a few. In these games I can hit 60, but its only occassionally while in open spaces. As soon as I enter an area (such as a city) the fps plummets to 30-40 fps. This would be fine, if I could just lower the settings to account for this loss, but doing that does nothing.
I've looked online and attempted a couple of fixes, namely:
-Ensuring GPU Drivers are up to date,
-Changing settings in the NVIDIA Control Panel, i.e. Resolution Scaling, Max Pre-rendered frames, Power management.
-Switching Windows 10 to Gaming Mode
-Overclocking GPU, CPU
-Swapping RAM slots
-Moving GPU down to a different slot on the motherboard
-Antivirus checks
I'm not the most tech literate, so please bear with me if its something obvious!
I've included my full spec list down below, but if anything else is needed, just ask and I'll do the best of my ability to give it to you!
My Specs:
GPU: GTX 1080Ti
CPU: i7-5820k @ 3.30
RAM: 16GB
Motherboard: MSI X99A Raider
I also have 2 1920x1080 monitors which are connected to my PC.
Thanks in advance for your help!
