Hi guys,
This is my first post on this site so I would like to say a big hello! I would just like a little advice from the pc gaming masters as I am not to sure if I have a problem or not.
Firstly before I explain the issue I will share with you my spec:
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1080 ZOTAC AMP! Extreme Editon
Processor: Intel i7 4790K oc to 4.5 ghz
CPU cooler: Coolermaster Hyper Evo 212
Mobo: Asus Z97A
SSD: Samsung evo 500gb
HDD: 2 older 500gb hard drives
Memory: 2 x 8gb sticks of Corsair Vengance 2133mhz
Display: 3 x Dell P series 23" monitors in an Nvidia surround set up.
Resoloution: 5760x1080
Right, yesterday I installed my new 1080 AMP! Extreme edition which I upgraded from 2 x SLI'd gtx 970's (EVGA ftw+ and an MSI twin frozer). On SLI I was getting quite low frames on some games as I refused to run the graphics on low or medium. I was getting 22-30 frames on ARK: Survival Evolved and about 28-30 frames on GTA V with relatively high settings. My perdiciment is that I bought the 1080 because it is suposed to be able to do 4k at 60 frames meaning it should easily be able to do my resoloution at 60 frames with max graphics however it does not. Max graphics on ARK gives me about 32 frames and max graphics on GTA V gives me about 30-35. In Nvidia inspector it shows the card using 99% load while gaming and the clock speeds boosting to what they are meant to (1900 odd mhz).
My question is, does this sound right to you? I thought the 1080 would trounce anything I threw at it but it seems to be struggling. Is the card playing up or am I just expecting too much from it? I bought it ready for Battlefield 1 as I wanted to play on max/high graphics in a Nvidia surround set up but I really dont want to have to scale the graphics back again. I'm not really seeing much of an improvement over twin 970's and considering the money I paid I expected a massive increase.
I look forward to some advice, thank you.
Dave
