I have a new build that I had originally installed a GTX1080TI-FE, it was having heat issues so I returned it for an aftermarket cooled version. Unfortunately since they were on back order I bought a GTX1060 6gb to get by while I waited on the partner cooled 1080ti. The 1060 did great, in Star Wars Battlefront on ultra settings I was getting 90-120 fps on my Acer XB271HU. I was excited when Microcenter calls me to pick up my Asus GTX1080TI-011G. I removed the existing drivers and installed the new ones and the TI and fire it up, only 50-60 fps, with dips down to the 30's. I have read that the bottleneck can be the CPU but I have the following build.
Asus Z270E mob
I7-7700k
960 EVO 500gb NVMe M.2 , OS and one game on this drive
850 PRO 512gb Sata 3, nothing on this drive yet
EVGA GQ 850 watt psu
EVGA 16gb 2x8 DDR4-3200
Am I better off just living with the Gtx1060? What's the point in a graphics card with lower fps and cost $550 more. Was really hoping to max out the fps on the UHD monitor. Even my other build with a i7-6700k and a gtx 970 performs better than the 1080ti. To be sure something didn't go wrong I put the 1060 back in and it is still in the 90-120 range. If it's the CPU which has one do I need to use?
Thanks
