Issues With 980ti

Hey guys!

 

First time posting on a forum, but I cant find any info to help me. I recently built a PC with a GTX 980ti and a FX 9590. I noticed that I wasn't getting the fps I was seeing in benchmarks of certain games, and in fact I was getting much worse. In GTA V at 1080p, I was struggling to reach 40 fps and quite often I would dip into single digits. This is the exact same for most other games I play (Rust, Darksouls III, League of Legends, Metro 2033, Tomb Raider 2013, Fallout 4 etc.) all at 1080p with refresh rate of 59Hz. I tried everything I could find including temp checks, usage, overclocking, Nvidia Control Panel settings, driver wipe/reinstall, and even an OS reinstall, but nothing has helped! Even odder, A friend of mine with a 970 and i7 4790k outperforms me in the same games by 30-40 fps at the same resolution and refresh rate. Im not sure what to do, so what gives?

 

Thanks for your time, everyone!

CPU: AMD FX 9590

actually, you motherboard and power supply may be inadequate for an fx 9590, they use a metric ton of power

put your 980ti in your friend's rig and see if it does the same there, if it does you have a bad 980ti

Okay, I'll try that, thanks! If it does the same that means its a bad card like you said, but what if it acts how it should?

Then look at buying an intel chip :)

It means your CPU is horrible (which it is, sorry) and you need something better.

 

I have a good feeling it is your CPU and its bottlenecking your card.

CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X

GPU: Radeon RX 7900 XT

Oh wow! Yeah okay, I guess I should look into a cpu/mobo/psu upgrade. Thanks!

than your fx 9590 is having an issue, you motherboard and power supply are weak plus just get an i5 or something, so much better

No worries. You won't regret getting an Intel cpu. If you are looking to replace mobo/psu/cpu perhaps a 6600k or 6700k and a nice Z170 mobo. As for Psu with all the new power efficient chips coming out I'm not sure you'd need much more than 750, just grab a gold + with 12v rail :)

On Asus' website, it says your motherboard supports CPUs up to 140W, the 9590 has a tdp of 220W, the motherboard is most likely throttling to save itself. You could potentially get better performance by underclocking/undervolting your cpu, so it doesn't throttle anymore, which is probably the cause of those single digit fps.

Ah okay, Im guessing theres online tutorials on how to underclock/undervolt my cpu, thanks!
