Hey, I've come here because I am at a complete loss and need any help I can get.
My specs:
- i7-4790k @ stock
- GTX 1080 ti FE @ stock
- H97M-PRO 4 (I plan on using an old bios version that enables overclocking in the future)
- 8GB DDR3 1600
My new CPU and video card just arrived in the mail yesterday, after installing it and doing a fresh install of Windows 10 and all of my drivers I am having a very strange issue.
Playing any game I'm seeing low CPU usage numbers alongside very low GPU usage numbers as well as obviously unacceptable frame rates for a system of this level.
I have tried unparking my cores, reinstalling Windows, reinstalling drivers, running with and without MSI afterburner, disabling game DVR, messing with my power options, setting the games priority as high, and even running my test games off of my SSD. Nothing works, I cant get either up, except for in synthetic benchmarks like Heaven or Valley. I thought that my power supply may not be sufficient, but it's a brand new 600w and every calculator says that this system should only draw 500w tops.
The games I've tested are as follows, Payday 2, Squad, Dishonored 2, GTA V, Fallout 4, Skyrim, and DOOM.
I've asked everyone I know, and asked everybody at work (I work at a computer repair center) and nobody has any clue what's wrong with my system. Every single place I check on the internet shows that I should have no CPU bottleneck, or at least a very minor one. And by the CPU usage numbers it sure seems like that's correct, aside from in GTA 5 where in some heavy scenarios it actually does turn into a CPU issue. But at the point where I am hitting lower than 30 FPS in Payday 2 on a friggan 1080 ti with my CPU sitting in the low 20% range and my GPU barely hitting 30%, something is seriously wrong and I don't know what. I do realize that Payday 2 is poorly optimized, but that's lower than my old 970, and it happens in all of my other examples as well.
I've looked at several benchmarks with very similar systems, this one in particular as according to userbenchmark.com his CPU is only around 4% faster than mine, which definitely is not significant enough to suddenly unbottleneck the exact same video card.
Any help and ideas would be greatly appreciated as I am completely out of ideas myself. I'm sorry for the awful sentence structure and poor proofreading but I'm tired, its late at night, and I'm already too frustrated. Also please excuse the stupid name, it was a regrettable decision from when I was like 12 or something.
