I recently "upgraded" my GTX 970 to a Zotac 1070 ti mini and I've seen a performance decrease in most/all cases.
Setup is as follows:
1070ti (zotac mini)
i5-7600k (factory clock speed)
16gb RAM
1920x1080 Asus VG278Q
I usually play Fortnite and I noticed right off the bat that I gained almost nothing from the upgrade. I did a clean uninstall of all graphics drivers using DDU, restarted, then reinstalled GeForce experience and the latest 411 GeForce drivers.
In AC: Origins, I ran a benchmark on ultra, AA on low, and I'm averaging just over 35FPS. During the benchmark, it was showing GPU usage at around 50%? I'm not sure how to monitor this or how to change it. I don't have benchmarks to back this up, but I was typically getting 45-55FPS in AC: Origins with my GTX 970 with the same settings.
The 1070 Ti typically benches like 75% better than the GTX 970 so I'm convinced something isn't right here.
Any help is greatly appreciated
*edit - Turned on all the monitoring from MSI afterburner during the AC: Origins benchmark and my CPU is at 100% on all cores, but my GPU never exceeds 51%. Not sure what this means, but I have a hard time believing an i5 7600k is bottlenecking the GPU so badly as to not allow it to run at 100%.
