Is my GTX 1080 okay? Unigine Heaven Benchmark

[Birdso]

Hello & thank you, i have recently upgraded from a gtx 780 to gtx 1080 and I am wondering if my card is running as well as it should be.

My system:
ASRock Z77 Extreme4
GTX 1080 SC
Intel i7 3770k 3.5ghz (I never OC'd it)
16gb DDR3 1600
OS is on 250GB SSD
Monitor is 2560x1440 144Hz
Nvidia driver is 372.70

Here are 2 Unigine Heaven benchmarks, at 1440p and 1080p,
Please don't mind the Intel chipset that shows, I have since disabled it through BIOS and re-ran the benchmarks with similar results.

The reason I am asking this is I am noticing a few oddities, while I can run witcher3 at ultra and stay around 60 fps, & Overwatch at ultra is 120+fps..
Fallout 4 is having problems. I am dropping to 35 fps in some areas. I never went below 50 on my 780. Even if I turn the graphics down to medium my fps will still sit around 40 in some areas. When I installed the 1080 I clean installed windows, updated my drivers. I also tried wiping out my drivers with DDU and reinstalling them again. Fallout 4 also refuses to recognize the 1080. At first it was using the intel chipset until I disabled it. If I try to tell it to auto-detect what settings, it says something along the lines of "unidentified video card."
I haven't tried again in awhile, but I recall hitting around 30 FPS in WoW legion at max settings as well and being surprised.
I am also noticing a few peculiar issues but I think they are related to G-sync on my monitor. e.g. when a UAC prompt comes up, and I move my cursor over either "yes" or "no" the fps is so bad in windows the cursor looks like a slideshow. This issue goes away when I disable G-sync. I did NOT have Gsync enabled for the benchmarks.
I tried switching my card to the other PCIE x16 slot just in case, and performance is the same.

Any help or input is greatly appreciated, I would just like to know if my card is OK and maybe not optimized, or if something seems to be going wrong in my system.

Thanks a ton!

Here is a score chart for same and different video cards running Heaven, click single gpu on the bottom right of the chart and see how yours compare, keep in mind this are overclocked cards and majority of OS services are turned off to improve the performance to get higher score.

yes that's normal. i get 2840 at 1080p on my gtx 1080.

Normally i'd blame the CPU in a case like this but you said that you had better performance with an older card.

A bit of a weird case, maybe it's some optimisation issues with the 1080. This is especially likely in Fallout where (if it doesn't recognise the newest nVidia cards), it might not run some nvidia optimisations.

As far as WoW is concerned it's an older game and the engine might simply not be coping with some new fireworks... but I dunno, i'd expect more than 35 FPS. 😀

I would expect more out of WoW too. Using geforce optimized settings:

GPU utilization max was 60%,
CPU is a little strange? http://i.imgur.com/QuyOc3W.png

EDIT:
geforce set render scale at 180%, turning that down did not do a large amount. However turning environment detail down to about 7, and liquid detail to good rather than ultra holds 65-67 FPS in that same spot, anywhere else is over 100.

In any case, as long as the card does not appear faulty I am alright with this, I am going to eventually upgrade the mobo and CPU down the road.

your gtx 1080 work perfectly.
my gtx 1080 gaming x without any oc just in gaming mode reach to 10600 benchmark yours reach 12000
meaning your graphic work very well other parts make the issue.
can be cpu

thats the req cpu for wow.
Intel® Core™ i5-3330,
AMD™ FX-6300, or better

Don't worry about it, I get 112 FPS, I was searching the same thing I tought my PC was having problems aswell, but everyone with GTX 1080 stock settings gets 109 - 112 so don't worry about it ;D.

The card is bottlenecked by the CPU, I had to underclock my R9 390 with an overclocked 4670K to get it to maintain a decent framerate on that game which is also very CPU heavy.
Now I run an i7 7700K oc'd to 5ghz I can actually overclock the card but I still can't max it out. An Nvidia card should outperform the AMD cards of my generation but eventually the CPU will eventually become a bottleneck. The GTX 1080 is a mondo card and too much for your CPU that's why you got better performance with the 780. My i7 7700K isn't powerful enough to get the max out of one of those cards, well not if it's overclocked anyway.

I had similar problem. My AMD FX-8350 worked flawlessly with RX480 8GB. When I upgraded to GTX 1080 my performance went terrible stuttering and shit.. I thought my card is faulty but It was CPU that was too weak to handle mighty 1080. Once I upgraded CPU to i7 4790, the performance was back to optimal. My heaven bench score hit 3000-3100.
