[SOLVED] Upgraded from an old 5 year PC build, no difference.

[Raz_5_]

Hello, I switched from:

CPU: i5-4690k
GPU: GTX 1060 6gb

to


CPU: i5-10600k
GPU: GTX 1080 ti 11 gbs

I bought a new case, I got alot of fans for my 1080 ti, new motherboard, 16 GBS of DDR4 RAM from my 8 gbs of DDR3 1600 ghz.
I built a completely new PC, I know my GPU is still from the 1000 series but from what I saw the card is still pretty good, I got it for 200$ from a seller in my town. I did a GPU-Z check and its a legit 1080 ti, I thought id be able to pump better performance compared to my old PC but its pretty much the exact same.

Can someone help me with my issue?

BTW - with that cpu/motherboard combo ram will be limited to 2666mhz (3000mhz will not be available).
But it's still better than 2133mhz.

I understand, I knew that was going to be a factor but I had to stay on a budget sadly. But yes, thank you for catching that what else should I do? Should I run some Afterburner Tests? or 3DMark tests? If so which ones.

What's your monitor?

What's your monitor?

HP 27m 1920x1080 60ghz.

That's no good. Get yourself a nice 144Hz one with G-SYNC. Then you will feel the difference. Believe me.

Something like LG 27GL850. You'll be surprised with the difference.

Also that SSD you've got is technology of more than yesterday. Get an NVMe drive, your motherboard supports it. Samsung 970 Evo is a good start.

Your computer is running and gaming within what it should be.

Keep in mind that 60hz monitor is going to hold you back. The game could run at 200 fps and on a 60hz monitor you won't "see" that, in fact you will just see some choppiness and screen tearing as the monitor can't keep up.

Ah I understand, I knew I should saved for a 144hz monitor. Thanks for the help.

Is it better after you fixed the ram speed? Dual channel 2660 or better should make things a bit better.

I have noticed performance increases on GTA and Total War Warhammer 2, which is great. I just have to be careful and find a better cooling method for my GPU, I have the MSI Armor edition of the 1080 ti which is.. yeah. I noticed that it was pretty got, 97-100% load, 85-87c temps. I hate that it gets so hot. But I guess it is alot more powerful then my 1060 and im just not used to the heat.

100% load, it's cooler than 90C. Could be worse.

Still thats pretty bad, These should be running in the low 70's, in fact over 71c I believe it reduces the max boost.

While NVIDIA doesn’t publish this information directly, the GTX 1080 Ti’s preset thermal throttle point is 84C, which is a degree or two higher than on NVIDIA’s previous cards.

Cooler is always better, and seeing as this is a used card i hope he cleaned it up before putting it in. I just meant he's not getting horrible temps. There could be some mild throttling, but he's not 10C plus about that point. It's a gpu, not a cpu.

I'm not talking about throttling

Boost is reduced as the temp goes up. Once you get over 68 or so (71 for the 2xxx series) the GPU will not boost. It won't throttle, but it won't boost either.

Yeah, you know, downvoting someone for asking a relevant question (refresh rate, as I did earlier) isn't really going to make people all that inclined to help in the future.
