Hello, I am upgrading my system for VR-gaming. I just purchased and installed MSI Geforce GTX1080 'Armor/OC edition', and upgraded to most recent driver.
My CPU is i5-3570K, on MSI z77A-G41 motherboard, running Windows 7. I also have a 1TB SSD hard drive, when I installed this, I noticed a little bottlenecking already, even before my GTX 1080 install.
Old GPUs were crossfire-linked AMD 7750s, RAM memory is corsair vengeance 16Gb. I could play games such as Total War Shogun 2 and Red Orchestra 2 at ~medium settings with reasonable framerates.
Performance with GTX 1080 now renders games unplayable, for example Company of Heroes benchmark runs at like 5-20 fps. CPU is straight up at maximum capacity, %100, and ~104 degrees C, while graphics card is registering like 4% usage, ie. the fans are not even turning on.
What is the problem here? I have intended to upgrade an i7, expecting the i5 CPUs perhaps to have some bottleneck, but not to get blasted out of the water, games should still play better than they used to. Does anyone know if there is a driver error, or if there are Windows parameters that need to get switched?
Thanks,
Jeff
