Hello everyone,
I'm very confused and I don't know what to do, so I hope to find some answer here.
I have this prebuilt computer from HP Omen 880 with GTX 1070 and I7 700 CPU:
https://support.hp.com/fr-fr/produc...es/15776604/model/17200008/document/c05627785
And I wanted to upgrade the video card, so I bought a used GTX 1080 FE from the internet, the owner tested it and told me that max temp while gaming was 82C, which is a normal temp for the Founders edition cards, so when I received the card and installed it properly (it was easy because the card has exactly the same dimensions as my GTX 1070 FE, also the new card uses one 8-pins connector as the 1070), but when testing the card it was the surprise, the performance was very low, lower than my old 1070, it is like half the performance of the GTX 1080, I don't understand why?
Can it be the power supply not efficient? The PSU in my computer is interne 500w as stated in the computer's page, and I searched everywhere in the internet, everyone says that 500w PSU is more than enough for the GTX 1080 (and that is why I didn't buy a newer graphics card because I know that my PSU will not handle it).
When benchmarking the new card, it was like the FPS is half the full potential of the card, temperature was in the range 60-70C (not 80C as the owner told me), it feels like the card does not draw the necessary power to operate at full speed, so I'm lost, what is your opinion please?
Many thanks for reading
