I have a 1080ti and a 7700k with 16gb of ddr4 ram but in every game i play my frames are lower than they should be and in all the benchmarks i run my scores are lower than they should be, for example I'm only hitting a score of 14k in firestrike whereas 1080ti's should all get above 20k. I have tried all the nvidia control panel settings and reinstalled drivers twice and updated my bios but nothing seems to work.
Any help would be greatly appreicated.
 
Which Power Supply unit/model are you using to power up the GTX 1080 Ti ? List the exact PSU model number/brand. Is the GPU seated on the primary PCI-e x16 slot on your MOBO ? Have you tried changing the Windows Power Management settings as well ?
 
The psu is this one
Corsair CP-9020098-UK VS Series ATX/EPS 80 PLUS Power Supply Unit, 650 W
I have a z270x ultra gaming motherboard and it is in the silver PCIe slots closest to the CPU
