Hello. Thanks for taking the time to check out this thread.
I've spent nearly 3 hours tampering with my build, both hardware and software. Keep in mind I'm not an expert and indeed fairly new to the PC building world. I'm hoping to get some feedback here before I give up.
Asus Strix 1080 (Temp never goes above 65C) < Default card
GTX 1080 Founders Edition (Temp never goes above 80C) < Only used when SLI
i7 6700k
16gb RAM
Asus Z170 Pro
I've tested two games with my single Asus Strix card. Both games highest graphical settings. These tests were done in 1080p at 60hz.
Witcher 3 50-65fps
Rise of the Tomb Raider 55-60fps
I feel these games are under performing as there are benchmarks for Witcher 3 hitting 100fps and Rise of the Tomb Raider hitting 120fps with the same graphics settings. I've completely reinstalled my graphics drivers, with no improvement shown. Temperatures are very normal, with the GPU never going above 65C. The Z170 Pro and Strix 1080 are brand new. The i7 6700k is roughly 6 months old. All drivers are updated as far as I'm aware. I've thrown a lot of money into this setup and I feel it has no business being ANYWHERE below 60fps at 1080p.
Another issue I have is SLI'ing the two cards. There is little to no improvement when SLI is set up and enabled. I know it can get a little odd with different brands and clock speeds, but both cards should be synchronized via MSI Afterburner. The SLI bridge is new. The control panels confirms that SLI is indeed set up. The cards are getting nowhere close to 60fps in 4k, testing both Witcher 3 and Rise of the Tomb Raider.
I also have issues playing World of Warcraft struggling to maintain 60fps in some places, but I figured the game is poorly optimized for my i7 6700k, since the game is so CPU heavy.
EDIT: Vsync is turned OFF in both games.
I'm at a loss. I've tried nearly everything I could think of. Is it just my ignorance? Are these normal numbers? I apologize if I left any important information out. What do you guys think?
