Just bought a GTX 780 and im not feeling the 45 fps

[SystemError]

Cheers to all the help here and to the legends that says i was underclocking id suggest you read up on the core clocking for the kepler cards and i give my greatest thanks to the real legends that suggested a clean driver install. Which i did and i overlooked because i did i clean install and refresh of the beta drivers, which appear from what ive read to have only helped people running SLI. I rolled back to the current release version and my BF4 on TDM at least which was where i was noticing most of the problems on high at this stage is offering a minimum of 72 frames per second and id say somewhere around the 80-85 mark on average. Cheers for all the help.

Well if you've read the forums much. Everyone on here says the 780 is overkill for 1080.

of course no one on the forum believes in future proof at all. 780 may be overkill today but not next year.

I dont think the 780 overkill 

I have a 780ti nd at 1080p i get ~45+ fps usually in crysis 3, i cant run metro last light with 4xAA coz i get 27(even though i dont need 4xAA)

nd i just started skyrim highly modded nd it uses upto 2300mb of vram (I kid u not) with the fps sometimes going to 30s usually going from 40-75.

In AC4 i get 55-60 fps

 

It is a beast of a card dont get me wrong but its is NOT overkill for 1080p (atleast in some games)

I've read through countless "What GPU should I get?" topics and the flood of "780 is overkill" posts roll through. Gets under my skin. So many believe a 780 only makes sense at 1440p or higher.
