Hi all
Don't know if anyone can help, this one has me a bit stumped.
Just upgraded my PC (by literally replacing everything barring the hard drives and case). New rig is as follows:
I7 6700k (not overclocked yet)
MSi GTX 1070 Gaming X (running stock speeds)
Gigabyte K3 motherboard
16Gb Ballistix Sprt LT Ram (2 x 8GB)
CX750m PSU
980GB Sandisk Ultra II SSD
2 x Generic 2TB Hard discs
Dell 2515h 1440p Monitor
Generic AOC second monitor not used for gaming (1080p)
Everything seemed to be great at first. Getting great FPS's in Doom (100fps), Dying Light (60fps), and Farcry (80fps), all at 1440p.
However in XCom 2, I am only getting 30-45fps (which I appreciate is a poorly optimised game), and more surprisingly in the Witcher 3 I am also getting 30-45fps). If I dialled down the detail, it makes no difference. In the Witcher 3, I got down as low as 1024 x 768 at low settings and was still averaging 33 fps. (no I did not leave hairworks on
)
It looks like these games are bottle necking somewhere but I cannot for the life of me work it out.
CPU scores 867 multi core and 171 single core in cinebench r15.0 so dont think I have a duff CPU.
Similarly I dont think its a duff GPU as I get avg 63.8 fps (min 26.7) in the heaven benchmark at 1440p on ultra quality with extreme tessellation, which is in line with reviews I have read online. MSi afterburner does however show the GPU usage does not go above 75%.
I have tried removing each stick of ram (not at the same time) but doent look to be a ram issue.
I have rolled back Nvidia drivers to see if it was a driver issue....nope!
Have transferred the games from the HD to SSD and still no improvement.
I have even unplugged the 1440p monitor to see if there was an issue with a multi monitor set up.
I am at a loss. I am probably missing something very simple but am stumped. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
