I recently(two days ago) got this high end pc and was really happy. but when i first used it i noticed that games ran on an extremely low fps. Not something you would expect from a new gtx 980ti. i thought i had a faulty card at first until i ran a benchmark test and the graphics card seemed to perform on par with other graphics cards on its spectrum. then i checked the cpu(i7 6700k) and it was ok. then i tried playing around with the nvidia settings and that came to no use, then i though maybe my pc is running games is running on integrated graphics instead of my card. Went ahead to change that but didnt find the option for it and yes i was in the right place but the option was missing. high end pc low fps please help!

Open "NVIDIA Control Panel" > "3D Settings" > "Manage 3D Settings" > "Global Settings"

a. Power management mode - Prefer maximum performance
b. Vertical sync- Off
c. Threaded optimization - off
d. Triple buffering - off

 

Does that make any difference?

I must say though, I've actually been there on my 980 ti getting really bad FPS in games. The problem was a mistake in the custom BIOS I made with the voltage/clock speed scaling being off slightly and because of that it kept running at 135MHz on the core combined with really low clock speed values for the the XBAR, L2C and the SYS. I don't think that OP has gotten this far but I just want to point out that it can happen.

My personal guess is that the GPU is stuck in P08 and is running at really low speed all the time because of insufficient power supply/some other error concerning Pstates that can occur or that something like the CPU or GPU is hitting way too high thermals and throttling back quite a bit. Maybe the absence of thermal paste or inpropper contact between the cooler and the chip.

with this I will provide a actual apology.

 

you give a pretty obvious legitimate problem that OP's issues could be applied to, that wasn't in my knowledge. So, even thought this does seem hella trolly...with the total of 15 or so posts and the account only being alive for 8 hours, I'll delete my comment.

 

and to OP, in the chance you are not a troll and just new to PCs and the forums, welcome to the forums. I swear assholes like me rarely show up and this community is actually rad as hell, I'm sorry, mate.

I do have to say that if you aren't so known to those kinds of problems (and I do have to say that they don't occur quite that often) it's better to help someone that is possibly trolling you as to give someone who is asking for help bad advise and ruin their day even more. Trying to do the nice and right thing isn't a bad thing even if you might be 'helping' a troll.
