Troubleshooting 1080 ti performance.

[T2B89]

Hello, I'm new here and I need a little help/advice with these benchmark results.

 

I bought a used EVGA Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080 TI SC2 Hybrid from ebay and after having ran it for a while now
and running some benchmarks and looking at what other people get in those benchmarks, I'm getting a little worried
I may have more then just a CPU bottleneck here.

This was using the Timespy demo from Steam.

 

This score seems very low to me and I was wondering if you guys could offer any help/advice on if this is a normal result from a 1080ti with a 4670k @4.4Ghz.

 

I knew I would have a cpu bottleneck but I wouldn't think it would be such a big one.

System Specs:

CPU:             Intel Core I5 4670K @ 4.4 Ghz
GPU:             EVGA Geforce GTX 1080 TI SC2 Hybrid
Ram:             16GB DDR3 2400 G-skill Trident X
Motherboard:    MSI Z87-G45
PSU:            Corsair RM750X

while under a heavy gaming load playing Ark Survival evolved the GPU will clock up to 1987Mhz core at first then settle
in at 1949Mhz after reaching about 63c max temp.

For the benchmark it fluctuated between 1974 to 1987 at up to 57c.

first is the OS on a HDD SSD or NVME?

I have heard that the CPU can bottleneck on some of them and bring the GPU usage down. when you bench is the GPU at 99%-100%?

your cpu bottlenecks the hell out of a 1080 ti, even a 8600k bottlenecks a 1080 ti in some games, hyperthreading is mandatory atm imho

@STRESSMASTER The OS is on an SSD (Transcend ssd340 120GB)  but my games and the benchmark is on a HDD (WD Black 1TB)

The GPU was at 98-100% for the benchmark. Also forgot to mention I'm using a 1440p 144Hz monitor, not sure if that would affect the benchmark as

I didn't change any settings in it.

 

@xg32 Yeah I know my CPU is a bottleneck but would that bring the GPU Score down that much?

I plan on upgrading my CPU, Motherboard, Ram and OS SSD next year, I want to see what AMD does with Ryzen gen 3 first plus I need to save up some more money lol.

@T2B89 it can just for the sake of science put everything to 1080 and try

Play at 1440p/1800p/2160p, else upgrade to Kabylake i7-8700 or Ryzen 2700x.

@STRESSMASTER It looks like they won't let me run 3dmark again unless I buy it so I did two Unigine Heaven runs instead.

Here's the results:

Extreme Preset2560x1440

so it looks like the resolution did make a difference

Your GPU score is in line with other 1080 Ti so what is the problem here?

[T2B89]

@xAcid9 Some of the other results I've seen have been much higher then mine so I'm just wondering if it's all my CPU bottlenecking it or if there could be anything wrong with my GPU.

[T2B89]

If you look at the results on the unigine website there are some people there that are getting a score of 6439 with

a i7-2700k is the i5-4670k really that much worse then an older i7-2700k?

 

Basically what I want to know is, is this an expected score from a 1080 ti with a 4670K?

Compare your GPU score in that thread. From what i've seen so far all perform similar to you.

Download Superposition and check if it perform similar to your GPU, don't use Valley.

@xAcid9 Thanks, I'll check it out later it's almost 5:00 Am for me right now and I haven't slept yet so... -_-zZzZ
