My GTX 1080 is performing the same as my old GTX 780??

[RaztechzZ]

Playing GTA 5 on my new GTX 1080 and getting the exact same fps as i got on my GTX 780. Played lots of other games at 1080p 144hz with my GTX 1080 and there is barely any difference between the two, i have even tried overclocking it as well to 2063Mhz on Asus Tweak 2 and running at 55 degrees C, my i5 4670K shouldn't be bottlenecking it. What is going on??

Have you set the Hz to 144 in GTA5?

Thanks for the quick reply! I had v-sync off and it was in borderless window, my fps did reach 90 at peak times. I have just set it to fullscreen, 144hz and it is running better but that could just be the fact that i entered offline, story mode. Also, could my low fps be due to my 1TB HDD being completely full?, thinking about getting a 1TB SSD for games.

Few GB free is as far as i'd go. If it's completely full yeah it will degrade performance. Leave 5% at least free.

On GTA, the fps goes from about 30-150, its so random. I have a few GB left but only like 10 or so.

How much system memory do you have?

1080 should be killing Gta5, are you using GE?

Do you get stutters as well or just low fps?

in GTA5

Just low fps i think, i ran the Division benchmark and compared it with someone on Youtube with the exact same settings and got about 20fps more, i am so confused

Alright, the stuttering might not be as severe with you but i know GTA5 likes to page to the HDD a lot with only 8GB system memory nearing to maxing out Vram. An SSD would help speed up paging of course but what you want is 16GB memory when it comes to GTA5.

Maybe its just GTA then, i am just testing out multiple games and comparing them to other people's benchmarks, some are running fine, some are not. I have been looking into upgrading my RAM and getting an SSD for a while, just need to wait until i can get enough money after buying an Asus ROG Swift.

Thanks for the help!

You're welcome, 16GB will go a long way.
