Upgraded GPU and CPU and no performance noticed

[lukelewis001]

Ryzen 7 1800x
Gigabyte 1080ti oc
16gb ram
750w psu
Msi mortar arctic b350m

I have upgraded from a 1060 to a 1080ti and seen no performance improvements. I installed the correct drivers from Nvidia website .

How did you test the cards?

Are you on a 60 Hz refresh monitor?

1080P, 1440P, or 4k?

Depends on the games you are playing and resolution. What are you trying to do with the card? If you're playing CSGO on a 1080p 60Hz display you would notice not much improvement and you won't even use half the card's power. I'd run a benchmark such Time Spy or one at Userbenchmark and post the results here.

It's always a good idea to clean out your old drivers before upgrading cards. Boot into safe mode with Display Driver Uninstaller, clear out all GPU drivers, boot into normal Windows, and then installing the newest display driver from NVIDIA or AMD. Only install the driver and PhysX and leave everything else out especially GeForce Experience.

Title says 'upgraded cpu & gpu ' but you've only specified your gpu upgrade ??

I had a ryzen 5 1600 before . Also i was playing fortnite with about 130 fps on low settings during gameplay and no change .
My monitor is a 144hz 1920x1080p.

An 1800x is a fairly superficial upgrade for straight gaming.

Nothing out there uses that many cores/ threads .

Bf1 is the most multithreaded title out there & that gains less than 10% even with 2 extra cores & a 400mhz clock boost.

What cooler are you using ??

Bump your settings higher. You are getting cpu bottleneck on low settings. In fortnite with a 1080ti at 1080p you should be on ultra settings, not low. That gpu has more than enough power for 140fps+ at 1080p ultra, but you are demanding far too much from the cpu at low settings and it's going to give you the middle finger. At 1080p, the harder the gpu has to work, the less the cpu has to work, the higher the fps.

I am using a corsair h100i and temps are CPU 29,
GPU 50

I changed my settings and it's not a very smooth gameplay micro stutters and for drops alot, same as my 1060 behaved

Do you have the latest bios installed? Latest motherboard chipset drivers? With that setup you should be having exactly no issues.
