Am I bottlenecking my GPU?

Userbenchmarks is not very reliable.

Use something like 3dmark for benchmarking.

That PC is great, so there should be no performance issues with it.

If you need a performance boost then you might want to clean install windows.

Hello! I ran the PC User Benchmark software from www.userbenchmark.com to gauge my system, and everything seemed fine besides my GPU, which is a new Nvidia Geforce GTX 1070. Apparently it is running "way below expectations," and running the same test tool with a different GTX 1070 in my system yielded similar results, so I was wondering if anyone could point out some suggestions to help me increase the performance of my video card. Am I possibly bottlenecking my GPU?

 

My systems specs are:

Intel i7-4770K

MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming Motherboard

32GB DDR3 1866 MHZ RAM

Nvidia Geforce GTX 1070

150GB SSD

1TB HDD

EVGA SuperNOVA 1000W G2 PSU

Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit

 

Any help would be truly appreciated.

It's a nice haswell i7. I wouldn't think even a 1080 will be bottlenecked

There's a test I watched earlier on YouTube that showed an i7-6700k can bottleneck a 1080. Although I do agree that it's likely not his problem for this severity.

You don't buy a 1080 to play at 1080p resolution. You most likely going to 1440p and 4K in which case cpu will not be a big problem

Even with upcoming future games & heavy multi-tasking? E.G: Playing/streaming Forza 3 or GTA 6 while listening to music on YouTube plus browsing Newegg & afking an MMO all on Ultra Detail at 1080p.

Hmm well that's good to know, I had planned to someday build/upgrade a machine from a dual/quad to an 8 core. If a 6 would work just fine then that'd save me some serious dough.

could you download this: https://unigine.com/products/benchmarks/valley/

and post your results please,

we can compare the results to other 1070's posted on the forums

Like allready suggested use 3DMark and Unigine Benchmarks rather than user benchmark.

 

For if you are bottlenecking watch this videos and decide for yourself:

(The TitanX is approximately the same power as the 1070 in games - also keep in mind the tests in the videos are on 1920x1080, so if you are using a higher resolution, the less important the CPU would become, same goes for if you cap your FPS to 60 - the only noticable difference in both cases of either higher resolution or capped FPS are the lowest recorded FPS, which obviously get better the more modern the CPU architecture)

 

 

@Nord or quote me if you want me to reply back. I don't necessarily check back or subscribe to every topic.

Are you suggesting that I'm not serious about that?!?!?
