Asus rog strix 1080ti load problems

[JapanFreak]

Hi i recently broth an new pc and i have a problem with the 1080ti i always get between 130-150 fps at 1080p and the load on the graphic card (vram never goes over 40%) pls help i feel im getting crazy i tryed a lot of settings and stuff over the last 3 days i feel im going crazy

PC SPECS

CPU i9 7940X

RAM 32 gb  3200mhz Corsair Vengence RGB

MOTHERBOARD Asus Rog Strix x299 e gameing

STORAGE Samsung 960 EVO 250gb + 2tb toshiba

NVIDIA driver 388.59

Topped the CPU I guess. Only a few games use all the cores on an 7940x.

singlethread performance is usually why gpus get bottlenecked in games , especially with heavy particle areas

 

also the fat that vram never geos over 40% is quite normal the 1080ti has 11gb vram... no way u will fill that up fully

 

 u should look at gpu usage, not at vram ( unless u are running out of vram but u dont )

so you are telling me the cpu is too good? i feel there is a problem from the windows or drivers but if you are right i hope we will get better optimization in the future

They are saying the CPU has I believe 14 cores and games only need 4. The extra 10 will go unused. So the GPU is bottnecked by the CPU. Try running MSI Afterburner on your game to see what the CPU and GPU usage is. This will tell you if the GPU is working at full potential, and the same for the CPU. If the GPU says 40% and the CPU is %100 on a few cores that means that the CPU is holding back the GPU.

I'm not exactly sure what your "problem" is...

is it that your vram usage is under 40%?(thats perfectly normal)...

are you wanting to get lower fps because of screen tearing?(turn vsync on if so)...

 

you're getting great FPS, it's likely your GPU is only hitting 60-80% usage and that your 14 core CPU could use some extra frequency when it's only using 4 cores and under(try overclocking it by bumping the max frequency for 0-4 core usage up to maybe 4.5Ghz or higher if possible, this could help you boost the FPS even more)

 

I don't personally see any problems with what is happening or your setup, other than that a i9 7940x is complete overkill for any gaming scenario and is acutally outperformed in many cases by the i7-8700k due to its frequency advantage and newly acquired 6 cores.

 

So, could you specify what exactly you're looking to fix/improve, it's not clear what exactly the problem is.

I cant say whether it's too good or not, but what I can say is that games arent using all the cores. CPUs with so many cores usually have lower clock speed then more gaming-oriented CPUs like 6700k from Intel. When games can only use 4 cores anyway, your 7940x will go about as fast as an i5 while the rest of it stays idle.  Overclocking should help, though you can turn off extra cores for the sake of power draw.
