Weird... Thanks you for this, I'm confused why its under performing during gaming.

Wasnt sure what to do, so I selected: API: Direct X 11 Quality: High Tessellation: Normal Stereo 3D: Disabled Multi-Monitor: Disabled Anti-Aliasing: 2x Full screen: checked Resolution: 1920x1080

I did the benchmark on "Heaven" with high settings, my PC scored 4406, which I think is quite low, how do I determine what the problem is?

Yeah it does sound like a plane most of the time, however i do keep the case very ventilated. I will try out HWinfo though to see.

I get around 80 degree's during most games, I've never seen it go higher Its always updated I have just updated Bios, Changed absolutely nothing.

As the title suggests, my 1080 isn't reaching is full potential, I've done bench marks and tests to make sure this is the case, which it is. What first got me onto this was that i was reaching low 100's in Minecraft, a game that should be easily be getting 300 plus, this is with optifine and no mods or other kinds of effects in the game to slow it down. My friend with a 1060 seemingly alwaays doubles my fps in a lot of games. I should also say I'm using a 144hz 1080p screen. I've tried searching forms for answers and came up with nothing, the most I can think to do is reinstall drivers which I have done a few times. And made sure everything is correct in the Nvidia Control Panel.
