Happy New Year!
Please excuse the long post. I want to make sure I give all the information I can.
So, I recently (two months ago) purchased a GTX 1070. I did not experience the performance I was expecting. My FPS would fluctuate dramatically on most games that I would play (with settings on maximum). I was disappointed, but the first thing I tried was lowering the games' settings. Oddly enough, that didn't help. My FPS would still fluctuate from 90 down to 30 as I played.
When that didn't work, I began researching other things that could be causing this. I did a complete driver wipe with DDU. That didn't help. I tried changing my monitor's settings (I run games at 2560x1440, but even dropping down to 1080 didn't help) based on forums that I read. That, too, didn't help.
I tested the rig using Heavenly Benchmark 4.0, and got a fairly stable 60 fps on that program's ultra settings, but even then it fluctuated a little bit. The final step was to upgrade my CPU (I was working with a AMD Phenom 8 core chip).
So, I saved up and just yesterday finished all the upgrades. I am STILL experience the FPS fluctuation. I am at a loss as to what to do, and I feel like I am maybe just missing something completely simple. It is also possible that I am just expecting too much.
My Current Rig:
CPU: Intel i7-6700k 4.00 ghz
GPU: Nvidia EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC Gaming ACX 3.0 Black Edition, 8BG, GDDR5
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (8x2) DDR4 3000 Mhz (PC4-24000)
Mobo: Gigabyte LGA1151 GA-Z170X-GAMING 6
Main Display: Acer XB271HU
Secondary Display: Samsung SMS23A550H
OS: Windows 10 Home
Games I Have Run It On:
World of Warcraft
Fallout 4
Grim Dawn
If there is anything that you would need to aid in diagnosing the problem, just let me know! Thank you in advance!
