So I have bought a new graphics card (GTX 1080 EVGA FTW) with a new PSU (be quiet! 600W) to supply enough power for it recently. When I installed both pieces of hardware in my PC started up fine but I noticed, over the course of a few weeks, that the only thing that changed was the default graphic settings of my games.
My fps hasnt increased at all and I still get low fps in games such as Borderlands 2, Skyrim (with ENB) and Battlefield 1. I have an Intel i5 6400 (i think thats the full name) so i shouldnt be bottlenecked extremely.
On battlefield 1 I can hit 60fps for a bit and then it goes down to 30 fps or even lower in some situations. On borderlands 2, my fps does the same thing when looking at populated areas, with skyrim it is completely random. Note: I only play at 1080p so it doesn't even have to work hard yet it still performs bad.
I have been looking at things to fix it and they still haven't worked.
These things include:
Changing settings in NVIDIA Control panel to prefer performance
I have formatted a hard drive and reinstalled Windows 10 and graphics drivers. Installed games back on there to test it, nothing has changed.
I understand that my CPU might bottleneck the GPU a bit but it really shouldn't be bottlenecking it that much, especially at 1080p.
Please help, I am really annoyed since I got a GTX 1080 to finally be removed from the <60fps squad but im still in it and it is extremely frustrating.
Thanks.
