Gtx 1080 low fps in games

So I recently bought a Asus strix gtx 1080 which, for the first few days, ran fine running all games at or above my expectation, however recently I have started to get very low frames, between 25 to 75 fps in csgo!! Furthermore the fps in the game massively fluctuates from high frame rates to low frame rates. I know that it is no the GPU's hardware at fault because I have tested it in another PC and it is not the drivers because I have completely reinstalled my drivers to no avail. I am almost completely out of ideas, all I can think to do is to format my storage devices and, if that does not work, send my motherboard back for a replacement. Also it should be noted that the Asus gpu monitor says that the clock speed is at 180% despite it being the asus strix retail clock, in addition to this in all games (even games like just cause 3) no matter how high draw the current scene is the gpu stays at about 5-10 % usage.

What could this possible be, does any have a fix for this and has anyone else experience this problem?

My current specs are:
i7 6700k (proccesor)
asus z170 pro gaming (motherboard)
250GB 750 evo (boot device)
16GB corsair vengeance ddr 4 (RAM)
and obviously a Asus strix gtx 1080



*update: Just ran a nova bench test and my CPU score is 241 when it should be about 1000 if it is a CPU problem this would make sence as it would be bottle-necking my gpu, so I am going to re-seat my GPU. I will update after this.
 
Thanks for the responses guys but i found the problem there was a setting in the bios for power saving which for some reason was turned on and limited the power to the cup. Thanks for the support though.

Also just so u guys know me psu is a corsair cx 750 .
 


Hello,

thank you for the tip how to correct the problem. May i ask you where is the option for disable that power safe in the bios?

thank you
Martin.


 


It's been a while since I fixed it so unfortunately I can not remember how I got to the power option. Just try flicking through all the options and look through the user manual of you're motherboard, if you still have it. Also, another thing you might want to check is the windows power options as if it is set to power saving it will severely affect you're CPU and GPU performance as it drastically limits the power distributed to the components.

I hope this helps, sorry I could not be of more help.
 
perhaps your display's refresh rate , im using asus gtx 1080 oc and my display is SWIFT PG278Q GAMING MONITOR which it has 144hz Rapid Refresh Rate,so i could get 144 fps in every game
 
he man can you help me ??, you have the same pc that i have and i want to know what you did to fix that problem "in the bios i didnt found the power saving" help please :)
