I've recently brought a GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition which replaced a GTX 780 and I've installed it into my system which contains of:

i7 4790k
Asus Z97-PRO GAMER
16 GB 1600 Mhz RAM (corsair)
250GB Crucial SSD and 1TB HDD
PSU 750W

I also thought it will be a good idea to upgrade to Win 10 Pro due to Dx12... So I've reformated and reinstalled all my games and I'm disappointed... In battlefield 1 I'm getting around 80 FPS in quite closed areas and in the outside areas (when playing as a sniper etc) I get about 60 FPS which sometimes even drops to about 40 FPS... I was expecting BF1 to run on ultra on about 100 FPS as on GTX 780 on high/medium settings I've been getting around 50-60...

In borderlands 2 in fights I've been gettin drops to 30 FPS where when not in a fight I get about 140FPS on ultra settings 4k?


Considering that the i7 4790K after overclocking is pretty much top-end hardware, I don't think it would be a bottleneck without the overclock?

My friend has told me that he heard about issue with 1080 Ti's where there is some new nVidia setting that causes the low FPS but I've went through all settings and everything seemed ok to me?

Update: Just tested Ghost Recon Wildlands on ultra settings I get 40-50 FPS while driving and 50-65 FPS while standing still...

Is it possible that my motherboard isn't compatible with the 1080 Ti?

I'm not aware that I was saying anything directly about 1080P.

The 52 - 58.6 FPS result in Tom's review is for 4k, Ultra, DX12.

Tom's 1080 Ti review doesn't even include benchmark numbers for 1080P resolution in BF1.

Also, something the review leaves out which seems a tad relevant is, what is the resolution scanning option set to. I have done about 2 minutes investigation into what that even is, as I don't play any Battlefield games, and I suspect it's not working the way you think it is. My understanding is that when you...

I've turned it off as soon as Geforce Expierience installed after windows 10 installation because I knew I wont use it.

Eh, I don't know then. Seems like a pretty vague problem. All I can advise is the generic, uninstall and reinstall the latest drivers from the Nvidia website.

Pretty sure an i7 4790k wouldn't bottleneck a 1080ti in Borderlands 2 to the point you're getting 30fps...
In fact, the i7 4790k would only really cause a noticeable bottleneck in very CPU demanding games.

At 1080p a 4790k would bottleneck without any question. I know it sounds ridiculous, but I see it multiple times daily on Tom's Hardware. 1080 ti's power is geared for 4k, not standard hd. The TI has so much power that it can generate an immense amount of frames, left to be processed by the CPU (at 1080p) causing a reverse effect on your FPS counter.

That's the problem. Max gpu needed for 1080p resolution at this time is a gtx 1070.
Two options:
1. Purchase at least a 1440p monitor.
2. Return the gtx 1080 ti and purchase a gtx 1070.

Don't want to cause a big argument here, but an i7 4790k will not bottleneck you down to 30fps in Borderlands.
Bottle-necking isn't the issue.

It's a bit hard to believe that a monitor would limit my FPS in games... Do you have any proof of this? forum, post etc...

Got this MSI afterburner and results are:

BF1
GPU temp is around 80 C same as CPU's cores.
GPU usage is 99-97% (this seems wrong?)
CPU cores usage is about 50-75%

Ghost Recon Wildlands
Temps are pretty much the same maybe like 1-6 C lower to BF1
GPU usage is 80-95% - jumps a lot.
CPU usage is about 5-10% lower to BF1
I rarely get 60fps+ in this - its 50-55fps with jumps to 30/40 and 40-50 fps while driving.

I'm using a Intel's stock cooler but soon will be looking for a replacement.

Ok, let's see if your little theory is correct, <removed>

Ok, my brother has the top of the line gaming PC with the 1080 ti founder edition.

Turned the resolution down to 1080p and hit FPS 262 averege from 4k 64FPS on rise of the tomb raider. And he has a 6950 CPU

Yes, I wish SgtScream would stop posting craziness.

Use DDU to uninstall driver then reinstall. Ensure all other drivers are up to date. Check to see if plugged into the card not the board. Vsync off in game AND nVidia control panel. Set windows power mgmt AND nVidia control panel to max performance.

Try it in a different PC. Use OCCT or the like to test CPU and make sure it's clocking all the way up.

That's because you tested with a $1500 6950x ten core processor. Of course your not going to see that problem.

The fact is, an i7 4790k wont bottleneck a GTX 1080 ti to the point where Borderlands 2 gets 30fps. Here's it paired with a 980 getting a solid 60fps just in case you don't believe that. In fact, it'll get a solid 60fps in every game at ultra. It's that simple.
I'm sorry but your point is bogus and you don't know how bottlenecking works, stop going on about it.

The gtx 980 running at 1080p resolutions physically can't bottleneck a 4790k, so your argument is illogical and holds no weight. The 980 has only a small fraction of the processing power a 1080ti has. By simply increasing the resolution to 4k will place a substantial load on his 1080ti which will reduce the cpu's processing overhead. Instead of arguing with me please just resolve his issue if you think i'm wrong, as the OP doesn't want to read through a thread of arguments. He just wants his problem solved. I am honestly posting this because feel bad for the OP. I want him to be happy and get great use out of his $700 GPU.

It kinda does make sense. I will try re-installing my drivers with a DDU and will see what happens as that is only thing I haven't tried yet. If that doesn't help I'll be buying a 1440p monitor 144mHz probably as I was planning to buy one soon anyway...

Anyone have any suggestions on 1440p 144mHz monitors?

I don't have any suggestions as to how you could fix it unfortunately, but one thing is for sure, you have an *actual* problem. This has nothing to do with "bottlenecking", and buying a new monitor wont solve the problem. Your i7 4790k and 1080ti combo *should* be getting a solid 60fps in pretty much *all* games, let alone Borderlands 2 (which as I linked earlier gets a solid 60fps with a 4790k and just a 980), no question.
