Is my PC under preforming?

[FarmerGiles97]

So, recently i think my PC has been under preforming. Is there anyway i can tell this? And do you have any suggestions to improve it. 

 

Ive been playing my games at 1440p on a 144Hz monitor. 

 

My system specs are: 

 

i7-6700K Overclocked @ 4.7GHz (WaterCooled) 

Strix 1080 

16GB DDR4 3200Mhz

Asus ROG Z170 Maximus VIII Hero 

 

On apex legends i seem to be getting around 100-110FPS? 

Gta i get around 80/90+ FPS

 

Would these be around right for my rig?

Your GTA 5 should run into the triple digits and so should apex.  80 to 90 is not right for your setup.  One thing off the top of my head is to DDU "Display Drivers Uninstaller"  and do a clean and reboot then install latest driver and tell us what happens.

1440p my man

 

Those fps seem about right

 

GTX 1080 is now a mid-range GPU

I mean, it's fine and I think you should have a good experience.

 

Lower some GPU related settings to bump up fps. Your CPU should be able to push more fps.

 

I personally wouldn't upgrade until my gpu can't do 60fps at my desired resolution no matter how much I reduce settings.

 

For me, that's still a couple years away on my V64, which is about even with your 1080.

Yeah I just wanna run my games at 144fps, to match my monitor. 

 

I'll have to wait and see what the prices are like.

Tweak settings a bit and you should be fine. You can drop AA a bit on higher resolutions, mess with lighting/shadow settings depending on the game as well. Usually you can squeeze out a good 20-30fps or more by lowering settings that don't make much of a visual impact but do kill performance, again it depends on the game though.
