Managed to snag a 1080 ti for a really good price. Currently use it for 1080P 144 Hz (Lol I already know what you're thinking, continue reading) and I am getting incredibly low fps. I play GTA V, Battlefield 4/1, The Witcher 3, and these games drop to as low as 40 FPS with a 1080 ti. My 970 rarely drops below 50. My CPU is a i5 4690k with a mild oc of 4.8 GHz so I am pretty sure I am not too far away from newer stock i5 performance. I am just surprised with such the low amount of fps I am getting. Also I am in the process of either ordering one more monitor for a triple surround monitor set up or 144 hz 1440P monitor. But my question is why is my FPS so low in battlefield 1/4 and the witcher 3 and almost every other game I play (ark survival, PUBG). I already did a fresh windows 10 install and GPU drivers are up to date.

In control panel. Uninstall the drivers, your resolution will be affected (this is ok), then reboot your pc. Then go to that link I sent you, select your operating system then start...

Sorry, yes those are load numbers. All 4 cores hover around 65c to 72c highest being 75c and GPU temp hovers around 60-65c with 71 being the highest.
EDIT - Power supply is a Corsair RM850
EDIT - Would keep this CPU at 5 GHz @ 1.2972 Vcore but thats only for my winter overclock haha, 4.8 @1.262 is for my summer OC.

Still the same low fps, averaging 50-60 fps in Battlefield 1 with 90-100 being the highest (when no absolutely no players around me)

Well, I hate to be the barer of bad news but BF1 is a very cpu intensive game which is why minimum system requirements are a 6600k. Also when you run a 1080ti at resolutions that low, might result in more cpu overhead.
Lets try to run your game at higher than native resolution, to see if more load can be placed on the GPU:

This might take some load off of your processor.

Will try. I understand battlefield is very cpu intensive, The Witcher 3 I also average only 60-70, which if I understand correctly is nowhere near as cpu instensive. Will see if resolution at 1440P changes anything.

Setting resolution scale to 200% made no impact on FPS.

That really does make no sense. I have a 2500k (4.9ghz) with a gtx 1070 and I get better fps than that in GTA V. How are the power supply cables plugged into the gpu? Are you using one cable with two connections or two separate psu cables to each pci-e power plug? I can't help but think in the back of my head your cpu is the bottleneck for that monster of a graphics card. I'd be inclined to test that graphics card in one of your buddies computers (if they have a better one) just to make sure it's not the card. How old is that power supply?

Power supply cables are attached in this order. 2x 8 pin red sleeved cable, to a 2 x 8 pin black cable with the end of that cable being a single 8 pin connected to the power supply I bought October of 2015.
EDIT -Really been bugging me that I am getting like a 10% increase in performance from a 970 to a1080 ti haha.
EDIT - Asus Strix GTX 1080 Ti - https://www.amazon.com/ROG-STRIX-GTX1080TI-O11G-GAMING-GeForce-DisplayPort-Overclocked-Graphics/dp/B06XY25VTC?th=1

I had the card installed with just the regular cable and had similar performance if not the exact same prior to me getting the custom sleeving.
EDIT - When you mean seperate cable for each port, instead of having a 1 x 8 pin that splits into a 2 x 8 pin, have 2 seperate 1 x 8 pin power connector?

Yes one dedicated cable per power port on the gcard.

Okay, so I am gonna take off the 1 x 8 pin connector that splits into 2 x 8 and connect 2 seperate 1 x 8 pin power connectors and see if that works, how can I uninstall my current nvidia drivers and download the asus ones?
