Poor GTX 980ti performance

[grayson6799]

I believe my GPU is overall underperforming as I get much lower fps than the average benchmark of this same card. I think it may be a possibility that my CPU is bottlenecking it or that my RAM is having compatibility issues and is therefore causing problems.

My specs are as follows.
CPU: i7-3770 @3.40GHz
GPU: GTX 980ti MSI Gaming Edition 6G
MB: ASRock Z77 Extreme 4
RAM: DDR3
-type 1: G.Skill PC3-12800 XMP 1.2
part number F3-12800CL9-4GBRL
-type 2: Stock Samsung PC3-12800
part number M3&*B5273DH0-CK0

Please let me know of any steps I can take to help solve this issue!
Thank you in advance, Grayson.

Download CPU-Z and take picture of Memory and Both SPD (you have option to see both sticks it will say slot#1 slot2#),
did you update latest nvidia drivers?(CPU is still good for its age).

Try this" Its Geforce Experience (ShadowPlay the thingy where you record games), ive updated it to last and when i open it and close it randomly it stops lagging my mouse in games (not always but random).

I currently have geforce experience installed and nvidia share turned ON. Though that really shouldn't be killing my fps so intensely, would it?

 

[RememberThe5th]

Yes happened to me and another guy who posted it, just try to disable the ShadowPlay as in link.

 

[grayson6799]

I'll disable it and run some fps tests and get back to you, thank you for your help thus far.

 

[grayson6799]

I ran GPU-Z. These are my results.

In comparison to other GPU-Z charts for the exact same card it looks like my graphics card has a lower clock?

 

[RememberThe5th]

Its probably due to brand which you picked up some are higher clocked some lower , the diffirence is 2% or probably 1 or 2 FPS. You have to test in games.

 

[grayson6799]

In terms of improvement in fps and getting closer to avg benchmarks for this specific card, disabling shadowplay did improve it significantly. Best answer picked, thank you Robert Ban

I should make sticky for this issue for now.
