Hi all, I recently purchased a PC gaming rig, I use Unigine Heaven to get some benchmarking results, but I am experiencing very low FPS, which shouldnt be the case.

Using Unigine Heaven, experiencing ~10FPS.

Playing CS:GO showed FPS of only 30, a quick search showed that my system should produce around 300~400 FPS.

My PC Specs are as follows:

CPU: i6700

GPU: Gigabyte GTX1070 G1 Gaming

RAM: Corsair 2 X 8GB Vengeance LPX 2400

PSU: Seasonic G650

Motherboard: H170 Pro Gaming

OS: Windows 10 64Bit

The store person assembled the PC for me, did something go wrong? Should be getting higher FPS.

How do i 'set the game to use gtx1070'? In the Unigine Heaven, it states GTX 1070 on the top right hand corner, I assume that means that the benchmark is using the GTX1070? It runs at ~10 fps though. Would appreciate your help!

Hi guys, I have solved the error. As AppleGwava said, I had to switch to GTX1070, however I was unable to open the Nvidia Control Panel due to a 'Nvidia Display Setting are not available error'. This was solved by either 1 (or a combination, not too sure) of:

- Removing GTX1070 Driver using Guru3D driver, reinstalling a slightly older driver (now is 19 nov, downloaded a october driver update)
- There were 2 DVI ports in my rig, I switched the connector to the other one

One or both of the above solutions solved my FPS issue, I was able to open the Nvidia Control Panel too.
