To put it simply: I have a strong feeling that my MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X 8GB is heavily underperforming. It has been a common subject of discussion between me and my mates how they are reaching higher frames per second (with the same settings as I run the games we play on), but with last generation's cards. I'm talking GTX 970's and GTX 980 TI's is what they are running.

One example is DayZ Standalone. We were running around in-game, brought up the discussion of each other's FPS since they reworked the renderer (he was running the game maxed out, I was running it one preset lower). He was getting around 180 FPS outside of in-game cities and 60 to 80 FPS within in-game cities. I was getting 100-140 outside of them and 35-55 inside of them. He runs a GTX 980 TI, 16 GB of RAM and I believe a CPU that matches the performance of my CPU (Intel Core i5-6500).

If anyone has any clue what might be the problem, please reply.


Here are my specs if needed:

OS: Windows 10 Home 64-bit

CPU: Skylake's Intel Core i5-6500 @ 3.20GHz

RAM: 16GB Dual-Channel @1064MHz

Motherboard: MSI B150M MORTAR

GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Gaming X

Monitor: SL23T-1 LED (1920x1080@60Hz)

Storage: 1863GB Western Digital WDC WD20EZRZ-00Z5HB0 (SATA and 465GB Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500GB (SSD)

Audio: Realtek High Definition Audio



EDIT: This computer with these parts was built from scratch and is no older than six weeks at most. No upgrades or other modifications done to the computer after it was built.

I'll be staying strictly in 1080p gaming, so a 24" monitor is good enough for me (1920x1080). The screen is big enough and the FPS stays in good levels.
