Hey guys I'm having lag issues when I play games tho its not all the time but games like Ark will lag and no where near max settings. Same thing with PUBG and even Destiny 2 and my buddy has a older pc and he played max settings just fine i dunno what the hell I need to do so any ideas are really appreciated.

My Specs:
threadripper 16core/32threads
2 1080TI SLI'd
m.2 1tb hd.
GIGABYTE X399 AORUS Gaming 7 mobo
16gb ram

I am using 3 monitors 1 is a 4k the other 2 1080

Connection is 10mb up 100mb down
Never had a issue with my older pc only with this one one.

Thanks guys!
 


Turn of sli. All of those games perform wierdly when pared with 2 gpu's.
 


The difference this has is maybe 1% (so literally in the margin of error). Why loose out on your cores when it doesn't make a difference what so ever?
