I can't even achieve 60fps on 1080p ultra setting on far cry 5 with a 1080ti

[jeffboy123]

I can't even achieve 60fps on 1080p ultra setting on far cry 5 with a 1080ti

I see frame rate tests with the 1080ti that get an average of 90fps with a minimum of 65fps while I lrop to the 40s on 1080p ultra. Please help me.

And I have 16gb ram and a i7-6700k 4ghz cpu

update: I found someone with the same exact set up and they average 80 fps, take a look

Is your FPS capped at 60 maximum with drops into the 40s? Or are you at something like 70 FPS and drops to 40s?

Capped at 60 or not it still drops below 60

Word of Advice, if your running a 1080 TI, you should be on a 144hz monitor. Otherwise, you kind of just wasted a bunch of money on a GPU that you're not fully utilizing. If your monitor caps you at 60 FPS with V-SYNC on, then you should of just bought a GTX 1070.

 

[jr9]

If it's capped (does not rise above no matter what) 60 FPS then you have Vsync enabled either in your game settings or in the nVIDIA control panel. 60 FPS Vsync is sort of a sad thing to see on a 1080 Ti. That card is for pushing 4K displays. I'd turn it off and if the tearing gets bad put it back on and either turn down the CPU intensive settings causing your FPS drops or get a better gsync monitor so you can run the card unleashed.

How would getting a new monitor compare to a new cpu

Seeing that you're running on a 6700k, thats only 2 generations behind the latest and greatest 8700k. a CPU upgrade is not what you need. You need a 144hz monitor to unlock the full potential of your 1080 TI. the 1080 TI is also not meant for 1080p gaming. It is targeted for 1440P and 4k. I would look into something like an ASUS PG279Q/PG278QR. If you want to take full advantage of the your card.

You cant achieve 60, because your monitor is only 60hz. it is limiting your FPS. Your monitor is your bottleneck.

New gsync monitor means you can play the game without Vsync and without the screen tearing that going above 60 FPS on a 60Hz display can incur. That card should be able to push over 90 FPS and with a Gsync and you could take full advantage of the card. As soon as your FPS dips below 60 with VSYNC you get lag as the GPU redraws the same frame twice which gives you a stutter.

New CPU would be an idea if your CPU is your bottleneck. One way to determine that is see if you are hitting 100% CPU usage when these lag spikes happen. HWInfo is good for that. 6700k is still decent though but still a 4 core are falling behind the curve in some titles.

Can you explain this more thoroughly, I'm kinda confused, sorry.

I've just realized a grave mistake in the title, it said "I can only achieve" not "I can't even achieve".
*facepalm* Sorry I made this thread at 3 in the morning.

if you play with vsync on, your frame gen will be 16.6ms, it's expected to have a complete image generated every 16.6ms, once the image read then create the next one, it also lowers gpu load on powerful gpul. because the program will tell the card to render, only once every 16.6 ms, if one frame accidentally take 17 ms, you will be 1 frame short, it will replay that frame and use this one in the next frame, you get a stutter, your fps goes to 30, then back up to 60.

if you play with vsync off, your graphic card will try to render as much as your cpu allows, your frame gen will be about 11.1 ms (1/90fps by info supplied), one frame take 17 ms, doesn't affact your fps much, your screen will take w/e is available and you get tearing. however your fps will be higher.

But, wouldn't it still dip down to the 40s

turning v-sync not only cap your max fps to 60, but also slows down your whole system in the case of over kill, you will notice that CPU utilization goes down. because you limiting the whole system performance. and these occasional hiccups will bring down the fps.

just try for yourself, play the game with v-sync off, vs v-sync on, you will notice more responsive with screen tear with v-sync turned off, but smoother graphic with vsync-on but it felt as if something is holding your controls.

sync affects the overall performance.

i wonder what speed of ram are you running? ddr4 or ddr3? what speed are you running at.

Try doing 100 laps with a Ferrari sports car around Walmart. It speed maxes out at 280 MPH, but you're only using 40 MPH to get around walmart. How much of that performance do you think is being limited?

Have you checked your resolution scale slider? I get 77 min, 86 ave, 102 max, at 2k (2560 x 1440) on a GTX 1080 @ 2025Mhz 1:1 resolution scale. Resolution scale is the slider at the bottom of the vsync setting page.

[jeffboy123]

Ok good news I do believe it is the monitor so, I will be buying a new one. I don't which to buy though because my average was 70 fps without v-sync so I don't know of I should go for higher hz or resolution.

everything is maxed out, except for motion blur, that is off. Now it does sound like your rig is underperforming, I suggest running other benchmarks like Furmark, run that while running CPUID HWmonitor and CPUID CPUz, give us the maximums in heat and Mhz for the GPU and max in heat and GHz for the CPU when running the game, and while running Furmark/CPUz.

Furmark is a GPU stress, and CPUz can do a CPU stress, you don't need to run them at the same time just make sure HW monitor is on in the background, it will record the maximums for you.

You may be experiencing thermal throttling, this can happen if the heatsinks on either the CPU or GPU are not performing well enough either due to extreme heat conditions or due to lack of effective thermal contact.

Where can I get Furmark and also what is your monitor's refresh rate?

 

[harrysmellington]

My monitor is 144 hz, however it's not relevant to performance, I have no idea why you think it is your monitor acting up. Furmark can be found here http://www.ozone3d.net/benchmarks/fur/, you could have also googled furmark and clicked the top result...
