So about a week ago, I built a new PC to upgrade from my old one. One of those upgrades, included an unexpected 2080 Super Founder's Edition GPU, but now that I have everything up and running... Somehow, I feel underwhelmed, and I can't put my finger on why that is. I'm not sure if I'm just setting my expectations too high, or if something is actually wrong here. My specs are as follows:
Target Settings: 75fps 1080p Ultrawide, High/Ultra Settings
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600x
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240L (Keeps my CPU below or around 50-60C)
GPU: 2080 Super FE
PSU: EVGA B5 800w (80+ Bronze)
RAM: 32GB Dual Channel Corsair Vengance RGB Pro (2x16)
Monitor: 2560x1080, 75hz, HDMI to DP
Raytracing: So far haven't tried it much, since I know it makes performance drop a bit.
Upgrading from a Ryzen 5 3600 & 1660 Super combo, I assumed that I'd be getting a real boost in performance. It certainly is better than that, and runs most simpler games like Fall Guys, Genshin or Minecraft Shaders flawlessly, but I thought games that didn't run so well even at medium settings on my old PC would run better, but some still feel a bit underwhelming. Warzone is a mess skipping around 45 to low 60's, Dying Light 2 I needed to use FSR on my old PC, and I still need DLSS for it to even get above 60, and VR Games like The Forest are still a stuttery motion sickness nightmare (However, that may just be the way my Quest 2 link is set up, so I'm not concerned about that, just thought it would be useful to point out.) These issues carry over even when I switch down my resolution to 1920x1080, maybe with a slight performance lift.
There are still games I have yet to test, and there are still games that run plenty fine maxed out like GTA V for the most part, but it's these odd few that I went in thinking they should be playing way better, that just aren't for some reason. I feel like I'm asking a lot less of my setup than most, I'm not looking for a 1440p 100fps beast, I just want a seamless 1080p 75fps, out of what seems like an incredibly overkill card for that use case. I fear I might be expecting too much, or maybe I've missed something completely? I appreciate any feedback on this!
