Hi fellas, first time here.
I just bought a 3080ti reference card completely impulsively. Guy in my area put a posting for one at 1600, couldn't help myself.
I thought my build could make full use of the card, but I have my doubts after running some more CPU bound games (Hunt Showdown, CSGO). The true performance of my 3080ti just doesn't feel completely there.
I'm upgrading from a GTX 1080 and am seeing a very little increase in performance for Hunt Showdown in particular, 100-110 fps at 1080p on low, which isn't much different than what I had on my GTX1080. (I play very competitively so I choose low for visibility)
My specs are the following:
i7-8700 w/ Stock cooler ( I was lazy ).
MSI MPG z390 mobo.
RTX 3080ti Founders edition.
16gb ram.
2tb SSD.
850watt PSU
I've read various things about either a significant MOBO or CPU limitation that can hold this card back. I imagined a slight bottleneck with an i7-8700, but no performance increase on Hunt after upgrading to 3080ti is a little jarring.
Are there particular upgrades I should make to get substantial performance increases out of this setup? CPU? MOBO? Both?
Please help, thanks.
