Hi everyone. I recently built a gaming PC. Everything is working fine, except (seemingly) the gaming. Games run worse than my laptop which has a GTX 970m in it.
Hitman was running at about 25-35 fps at medium settings at 1080p, with lots of stuttering. Same goes for Watch Dogs 2.
Nvidia drivers are up to date, and I used DDU to uninstall and reinstall them.
BIOS was also updated to most recent (if that's any help).
My GTX 1080 is in the PCIE 16_2 slot, because my CPU cooler is too big to allow 16_1. According to many people, this shouldn't matter.
My games are installed on the hard drive while the OS is on the SSD. I don't think this matters.
I'm not exactly sure where to start in fixing this. Could someone give me some pointers?
Specs:
CPU - Intel i7-6800k
GPU - Asus GTX 1080 Strix
Mobo - Asus x99-A II
RAM 32 gb corsair dominator (4x8)
PSU - EVGA Supernova 850 P2
SSD - samsung 850 evo
HDD - Western Digital Blue 1TB
