GTX 1080 under performing?

[chimchar]

I have a GTX 1080 6gb gigabyte and an i7 4700 cpu. 750w psu.

Barely get 144 fps in black ops 4 on medium settings? Can barely get 200fps in fortnite with med/high.
I have kind of a shitty Asus atx MOBO, would that affect anything? Or did I spend $700 on a GPU to get shit performance.

List your full system specs to give us a better idea. GPU RAM PSU CPU MOBO

Intel i7 4770
Gigabyte GTX 1080 6GB
16GB DDR4 3000mhz ram
ASUS Z97-A mini atx MOBO
Corsair 750ww psu

Note: GPU hardware seems to be working perfectly, I've benchmarked it many times and the only issue is FPS, fan speeds are good, temperature etc.

1. make sure you do not have viruses, malwares, etc.
2. make sure you do not have any unnecessary background running apps
3. make sure you have the latest drivers for everything. you might also need to check in internet if people are saying that your nVidia driver acts strange, if yes, role back!
4. make sure you have the energy management settings for both proc and gpu on performance mode

another thing: hmmm..you are playing on 1440p or 1080p or 4k?

No viruses, none of that. Up to date drivers and everything. Gaming at 1080p.

I have a GTX 1080 6gb

Never heard of a 6GB version of 1080. Is it 1080 8GB, or is it a 1060 6GB?

You are getting the FPS as you should actually get with that CPU. It is a non-K (not overclockable) CPU. It is bottlenecking you at 1080p. You can safely increase resolution and/or details and you will still have the same FPS. i7 4790k (or even i7 4770k) would be able to give more FPS at lower details and resolutions once OC'ed. But the way I see it, your performance is certainly not lacking and basically normal.

Yes 8gb sorry.
I bought the non k version as I didn't think I needed to oc.. so with a 1080 that's just the performance I should be getting... Really? Well ok then

Well, your GPU certainly has power to spare, that's for sure. You can put more load to the GPU by increasing the resolution and/or level of details. At some point you will have much better visuals while keeping the same FPS you have now.

But... if you are absolutely running for the highest FPS you can, regardless of ingame settings and on low resolutions, then you will need to go above 4.5GHz, and even 5GHz (clearly, not possible with your CPU).
