New GPU Problem

[Jackson22]

I just recently upgraded from a GTX 1060 3GB to a GTX 1080 TI and installed it, got a new power supply, hooked it up and everything. I tried to test it on GTA and am only getting 15-20 FPS, and it's only using 7% of my graphics card. Any ideas?

well, it sure looks a lot like you forgot to install drivers.

I already installed the latest drivers.

However, I could have done something wrong while installing...

in that case, try a little overclock or even an underclock with some software like precision XOC. also, try a stress test with aida 64 to force usage.

not likely, because if you were using geforce experience (which nvidia basically forces) then it should do it for you. so long as you used express settings and all.

Alright, I'm gonna try downloading drivers one more time and see if that helps. If that doesn't, do you have any other ideas?

Go through GeForce experience and let it scan games and optimize. Those things are temperamental at times...

just like i said before. Try to force usage. also open device manager to see if it's recognized.

Alright, I'll try that in a second. It's recognized, but could the Intel HD Graphics 630 mess this up?

if you need to, use the bios to make the PCIe x16 the default video out. it could be passing video through the card without using the GPU

Alright, and how would I do that when I'm in BIOS? thanks

check out a youtube video regarding the motherboard you have. Each brand has a different UI and different features, so it's not cut and dry.

Is there a way to find my motherboard without opening my computer?

remembering what you bought, or have whatever retailer you used do it for you. newegg and amazon have purchase histories.

[Jackson22]

I bought it pre built from BestBuy a year ago, I'll see if I can find the listing.

My motherboard is the ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. PRIME H270-PLUS

ok so asus prime h270-plus is what you need to look for. hopefully the other measures work though,because this approach is more tedious.

It shows it's compatible with the 1080... However speccy says my motherboard is 100 degrees Celsius right now, so that could be the problem.

VRMs can operate between 115 and 150 Celsius, so you should be fine. and yea, the graphics card is compatible. Literally all PCIe graphics cards are compatible.

Alright, what was the other suggestion you had? And if that doesn't work, anything else? I could've gotten scammed when I ordered it, but that's highly unlikely.

This stuff. Precision XOC and aida64 can be downloaded for free. also, get HWMonitor for enhanced accuracy if you're not already using it or preferred software like it.
