Need help with my new GPU.

[PracticallyGeek]

Morning folks!

Ok many may laugh and ask why I bought a MSI GTX 980 ti 6GB gaming when the 1080 is round corner. I just wanted a upgraded that would get my 60fps or more so decided to just get it.
I'm not skillful or in the know when it comes to PC building but managed to install my GPU with no problems , i think . . .
I watched countless videos on this gpu and what benchmarks it should archive but I'm not managing to get the desired fps. It might just be me but even when I turn down GTA V to 1080p from 1440p there is no change to fps. Ive seen something called bottlenecking on the forums and wondered if it could be the problem. .
Here are my specs

CPU: INTEL® Core™ i7-4790K Quad Core 4.00 GHz 8MB Cache LGA1150

Memory: 16GB Hyper X Fury

Mobo: Gigabyte Z97-HD3 INTEL Z97 Chipset

PSU: 600 Watts Power Supplies [+2] (Cooler Master 600 Watts B600 B2 Gaming Power Supply, 80+)

What do you guy's think?

Any advice would be great thanks.

It isn't bottlenecking. You have a good CPU there. Sure you plugged the cable into the graphics card and not the mobo? Could be the PSU. Try another one in there 😉

It does say minimum PSU 600 watts which mine is, could that be the problem that maybe it needs more power? I will check my CPU usage tonight when I get home from work, thanks for the speedy response guys!

You've got really good specs but You're using a Min Requirement in case of the PSU.That might be the proble.Try Upgrading it or if you don't mind jagged edges and Screen tearing in games disable Anti-Ailiasing and V-Sync that should help a lot =D
