I recently moved states, and had to travel distance I couldn't drive. So I decided that before I let the movers pack my PC, I would take out my GPU (GTX 1080) for the journey. After setting up my PC at my new house, I reinstalled the GPU and all of a sudden the performance in many games reduced a lot. I double checked the graphics settings in all the games I tested, and they were the same. Any solutions? For example, Just Cause 3 ran solidly capped at 60fps maxed out, and all of a sudden it struggled to keep 45 frames. Similarly, CS: GO went from 200fps to about 50-60, and Guild Wars 2 from capped at 60 to hovering in the 30s. Any ideas for a fix? The temps seem normal, and the same as before.
Solutions?

Build:
Case: Noctis 450
OS: Windows 10 64-bit
CPU: i5 4690k OC'd @ 4GHz
GPU: MSI GTX 1080
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB DDR3 1600
PSU: Cooler Master G650M
(Air cooled - I cant trust myself with water cooling!)


Thanks!

If the system was moved or shipped.

Then it is worth checking that the cpu cooler is still fitted correctly to the cpu you have.
You never stated what cpu cooler you had fitted to the i5 cpu in the system.
But if it is a stock Intel cpu cooler then you should check it to make sure all of the push pins are firmly down and twist locked through the motherboard.

Even if you have an after market cpu cooler fitted it should be checked that it has a good fitting to the cpu.
Intel stock cpu coolers are prone to coming undone due to the way the system works on them.
And don`t like to me moved around or bumped.

Just to make sure, you are plugged into the GPU, not the motherboard, correct?

hit Start and type dxdiag hit enter
go to display tab
what driver version and date does it show on the right hand side of the display tab? That will tell us what device and drivers your PC is using for DirectX
