GTX 1080ti Poor Performance

[WarpedRainbow98]

Hello, recently I bought a Asus Strix GTX 1080ti to replace my GTX 1060 3gb. I installed it and installed all the new drivers for it and jumped into a game and was actually getting lower FPS then with my 1060. I have a Core i5 7600 and have read that a Core i5 6600 wouldn't bottleneck a 1080ti so I figured I would be fine. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers multiple times with no luck. When I play games like PUBG I get about 50-75 FPS on the lowest settings. IN fact all games I play now I'm getting no more then 110 FPS. I'm playing on a 1080p 144Hz monitor. I have read a couple of people say that my monitor could be a bottleneck; however, I have read just as many people say that is not the case.

CPU bottleneck and poor optimization in PUBG are what you are looking at

[kerradeph]

Where did you get the 1080 from? I've heard about people buying lower end cards and getting 5-7 generation old cards that had been reflashed to show the card they report to be. Try running a benchmark.

You could run the Passmark Performance Test, it will compare your GPU results vs other 1080ti's (if it is a 1080ti at all).

I think that's one of the better benchmarks to test if it's a real 1080ti.

 

For a smaller/shorter benchmark you could try "Userbenchmark".

Also a benchmarks that compares your gpu to other gpu's.

 

Think those tests will get you the fastest results!

PUBG is not optimised good.

He's wondering if his graphics card really is a 1080ti. So the optimization of PUBG doesn't matter...

No it is a GTX660 probably

Show us GPUZ window and run a benchmark

As racer243l said, and I agree, you got CPU bottleneck at 1080p, especially with a 1080 Ti. Also if I'm not mistaken PUBG likes cores and speedy ones and on top of that it's not fully optimised.

 

Bottom line, at 1080p, your graphics card is more powerful than your CPU. Which translates into 100% load on CPU and lower than 100% load on the GPU, and that equals CPU bottleneck.

True. But that does not explain why his FPS is lower now. He added a stronger GPU... So his FPS, if they are CPU bound, should still be the same. 

Switching a 1060 for a 1080ti can not result in lower FPS.

 

+ I highly doubt if the i5-7600 is such a heavy bottleneck for a 1080ti. Maybe in PUBG it is, but overall I think it's not a "cpu bottleneck".

That's true as well. He shouldn't get lower FPS. Maybe he should try a DDU (he didn't mentioned about it, he only said that he simply uninstalled old ones and installed new ones)

 

Also, @WarpedRainbow98 what PSU you have in your PC?

DDU is always a good thing to do  

[deXxterlab97]

Even a core i5 would bottleneck a 1070. So no idea where you getting those info from.

Passmark is unreliable test, use Unigene benches to test.

PUBG is unoptimized so having lower frame rates could be that issue, or it is being heavy bottlnecked. Check for CPU and GPU usage in game.

I'm having the same FPS using FX 6300 + 1060 3gb. No way his i5 bottlenecks harder than my AMD. I actually play with ultra textures and AA because the gfx card can take it without FPS impact. Yes, it's poorly optimized but one should also notice that his FPS should not be on same level as mine with much better CPU.

I put a Corsair 750 watt psu in it. I had a 500 watt before so I thought that may have been the issue. When I swapped it out there was no change...

Yeah that's what is confusing to me, why is a weaker card doing better that one of the strongest cards out there. With the 1060 I was getting well over 100 FPS in Siege and over 90 in PUBG, both were consistent. When I went to the 1080ti I can't get over 80 FPS in Siege and I went down to about 50 in PUBG...

I bought it from Amazon. It's and Asus Strix. I ran the Superposition benchmark on 1080p at medium settings and it scored about 14,000. Then we ran the same test on my buddy's pc with an 8600K and GTX 1080 and it scored about 15,500.

[TechyBen]

Benchmark it. Check temps, check voltage/power use. Check different benchmark/games. It may be your PSU, or something else entirely.

 

May be a driver specifically from ASUS that does not like PUBG?

 

 

 

A quick search suggest most performance issues tend to be CPU bottleneck/thermal throttling. The most likely option is the PC has increased game fidelity (med to max) and thus seems "slower" on the new settings, but would be faster if reverted back to med etc.

I don’t think the only reason is PUBG being un-optimised like everyone is saying. 

 

I have a Core i5-6600 (non-k) and a GTX 1070 Ti, all lower specs than the OP’s, and I get 80fps on ultra settings.
