I recently(two days ago) got this high end pc and was really happy. but when i first used it i noticed that games ran on an extremely low fps. Not something you would expect from a new gtx 980ti. i thought i had a faulty card at first until i ran a benchmark test and the graphics card seemed to perform on par with other graphics cards on its spectrum. then i checked the cpu(i7 6700k) and it was ok. then i tried playing around with the nvidia settings and that came to no use, then i though maybe my pc is running games is running on integrated graphics instead of my card. Went ahead to change that but didnt find the option for it and yes i was in the right place but the option was missing. high end pc low fps please help!
