Just got an MSI gtx 1080 TI

[Nath_198]

i looked at benchmarks for gta v for this card, at 1080p it got 80-90 fps, why is it thay i get 60-80. same with watchdogs 2. the benchmark said 70-90, and in getting 60-70. any reason for this?

also i had an EVGA gtx 970, before my 1080 ti, and idk if in some ganes i can tell a difference between my old gpu and new one.

Motherboard ain't the problem. I would just reinstall Windows to rule out any software problems. If performance is still bad, RMA the card.

just gonna list of some things i think it may be, which is 2 things actually.

Motherboard (apparently it isnt that)

and i have 16gb of ddr3 ram. would ddr4-5 help at all?

what powersupply do you have?

Also
At this point the best thing to do would be to use MSI Afterburner
setup the On screen display to show the CPUs and GPUs usage

CPU usage for the CPU
GPU usage and Core/Memory clocks for the GPU

See what they show up as in game, if they arent what they should be then thats partially one of your issues

[Nath_198]

so when i said about my fps earlier, i was using steams fps counter (big mistake). now im using msi afterburner, it says i get around 100 fps on gta v at 1440p with barely any AA. my CPU usage hovers around 60% and my gpu usage hovers at around 65-70%.

This anything to go off of?

[Nath_198]

nvm, the fps is around 70-100 sorry, went into a more dense area and it was going down to 70fps.

Yeah that sounds normal

As for the GPU usage, thats because of the resolution being used.

So in this instance, it sounds normal for the current circumstances.

[Nath_198]

hm...what about the guy who said he got the same results but with a normal gtx 1080?

is it still underperfoming or is it closer to what a 1080 ti can do?

[[☥] - CJ -]

There isnt TOO much difference between a 1080 and a Ti, so thats most likely why.

And being as your GPU usage is around 70%, yes its underperforming because of your monitor.

One thing to try
Go into the NVIDIA CP
Turn off Shader Caching(not important but try it anyway)
And under Power Management, select Prefer Maximum performance
Multi display/mixed, select Single Display performance
Click apply

then test it again

as i am shocking wiht pc's, what is nvidia cp?

People have been telling you to run benchmarks so you can make an accurate comparison to other systems. 3dmark, Unigine, or the GTA benchmark numbers will help you determine if the card is performing as expected. Run the benches and post the results.... I don't understand how you can spend $800 on a GPU and not bother researching very basic concepts.

[Nath_198]

i bought it based off of people praising it like crazy, and i thought, my system is decently new, so it will be able to handle it. and it can, but idk if it runs as good as other peoples systems. and i am sort of new to the whole, building pc's, i dont know what to research when buying a new part. i just go off of the philosophy of, its new and powerful, so it must be good to have :P

That is why you need to benchmark. Google 3dmark and unigine. Run the program and share the result. You can do the same with the in-game benchmark tools in GTA and other games.

You have a monitor that's limited, most likely 1080p at 60Hz.

So think of it this way. You live in a city where the fastest speed limit is 60MPH. You're not allowed to go faster else you get a speeding ticket. So you can only go 60MPH and no faster, ever.

Your friend has a BMW 500 series. It can go 60MPH and it's a nice ride. No issues. It reaches the max speed limit and handles all the twists and turns just fine.

You, for some reason, thought you needed a Porsche 911 and bought it so you could go 60MPH faster.

Wait a minute....maybe you get to 60MPH a little faster, but you can't go faster than 60MPH. What good is that Porsche doing for you other than looking flashy?

You've put a high-end card in your system that's limited by the external hardware (your monitor). You will be limited by what your system can allow it to do. Right now, your monitor is a big limiting factor.

Anyway, hopefully lesson learned about buying computer parts just because they sound good and might look good and they're praised about being all powerful!!! You need to buy parts that fit your overall needs and compliment your current hardware. If you have plans to buy a better monitor, then great. No real harm. If you expected amazing performance on 1080 at 60Hz utilizing a 1080Ti, you're just letting yourself down by wasting money on a card that's much more powerful over what you need.

You should have stuck with the 970 and waited for Volta or found a 1070 or 980Ti if you really wanted some extra umph in your system. It would have cost you much less and giving you a solid jump in performance if you were having issues on 1080p with any games.

My monitor is at 144hz.

And i did the 3dmark benchmark test, the "timespy" test, and my computer as a whole scored 8168. my gpu scored 9834 and my cpu scored 4168. this any good? or relative to what other people with similar systems get to me?

hm, my gpu scored better than another 1080 ti by 300 score, but my cpu was half the score of that benchmark.

i know we have been over this, but could it possibly be my cpu holding it back?

nvm, other way around maybe?

i assume nothing is wrong seen as there is no replies? in which case, yay i guess
