zotac gtx 1070 amp extreme low fps

[escendol]

hi guys, i just bought zotac gtx 1070 amp extreme, and im experiencing low fps on overwatch, on ultra setting i got 130-144 fps average on 1080p, is there anything wrong with it? seem like really low compared to http://www.techspot.com/review/1182-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1070/page2.html which get like 200+ fps
my specs; i5 4690k @4.2Ghz, 8gb ram, cx550m psu

Seriously? Why are you complaning about 130fps? Why would you want anymore than that? I mean unless you have a 144hz monitor then it doesn't matter.
Also, the people who tested it are obviously going to get more FPS considering you have an i5 4690k (same as me) and they have a i7 6700k, which is overclocked...

im using 144hz monitor so yeahh, i know the difference between the i7 6700k and i5 4690k but i expect a bit more than that lol but thanks anyway

It's quite possible your CPU is bottlenecking your GPU, that's what was happening to me and I have a Zotac 1080 AE. I recently upgraded to a 6700K (From a 3770K) and now I can run everything perfectly fine, maxed out at 1440p. If you are not overclocking I would look into that, or getting a better CPU. 6700k is top of the line, you can do very well with an i5 6600K. Blizzard's optimization is extremely disappointing as well. I had to do a lot of tweaking just to get stable 60fps on WoW... and again I have a 1080. It is also quite possible it is the game and not your hardware. My experience with Blizzard that's what I would say.

I don't see how an i5 4690k would bottleneck a gtx 1070 considering it never bottlenecked a 980 ti, which a 1070 and 980 ti are very similar in performance

The problem lies somewhere in the utilization of the threading (or something similarly new) of the Pascal architecture. It could be something as simple as your PCI-e slot bandwidth. Depending on what MB you have, it could be bottlenecking the newer technology whereas the old technology runs just fine.

It's a similar situation as to why my 1080 doesn't run WoW perfectly and a 980 Ti will get 200+ fps at all times (pisses me off), which it damn well should be doing. But you have an old A$$ game trying to run state of the art and top of the line technology (as is the case with my $4500 rig) especially if the card isn't technically supported, you are going to run into issues.

The same could be happening with your 2 year old CPU and MB. Ram is also a possibility. But in all honesty, the CPU itself actually probably is not the issue, but rather the MB and the 2 year old technology. My 3770K is only 10% slower than my brand new 6700K, but I doubled the RAM from 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 to 16GB 3200MHz DDR4, and got a high-end motherboard, instead of the mid-range MSI board I had, and it increased performance about 30% (ballpark) BEFORE OCing the 6700K, when the 3770K was always OC'd to max. Before I was dropping frames in Fallout 4 from a solid 60fps to about 40 for about .5 seconds and then it would return (at 1440p, 60Hz) after upgrading it doesn't move from 60fps.
I know it sucks but if you really (with 120fps I wouldn't give a sh*t thats way more than I can get on WoW) want to get all the power you can out of your 1070 you're probably going to have to upgrade the chipset, which sucks because that means the RAM and CPU as well in all likelihood.

You might want to check BIOS settings for your CPUU, I recently was fiddling around with it and discovered that it was throttling my CPU causing massive frame rate spikes as low as 8-15 fps on some games. Changing some of the settings resulted in consistent FPS of around 140 in Fallout 4. MY issue was noticed mostly in MWO where any settings in the advanced video settings would result in no difference only quality.
