I'm having unusually low FPS for my system while playing Battlefield 1 with "ultra" settings at 1080p. I have a GTX 1080 Ti (Gigabyte Aorus, overclocked +50MHz Clock, +200MHz Memory), i7 6700k, and 16gb 3200 Hz RAM, but still I get an average of ~100 fps when others with similar builds have been reporting 170 to 180 fps. I've turned the resolution scale back down to 100 and have reupdated my drivers, but still have had ~100 fps in-game. As a reference, I tested my system with Unigine Heaven twice (First with ultra, 2x AA, tessellation disabled, 1080p; Second with ultra, 4x AA, tessellation extreme, 1080p) and got scores of 5732 and 4284, respectively.

What gives?

Well, it's enough right now but I'm looking to get a higher refresh rate (144 Hz) monitor relatively soon and I know my machine should be able to hit that but it's not. I have checked my temps, GPU stays around 70C and CPU around 55C-60C with a liquid cooler.

Wait, so Unigine Heaven runs as it should, but Battlefield 1 isn't? Did you try checking the games files if you have it on steam? (even tho I don't think it would help anything). Also, how are other games running compared to Battlefield 1?

After testing some other games, it seems like it's just Battlefield 1, honestly. GTA V was running a little slower than I expected but definitely wasn't out of the ordinary, which is why I'm confused that Battlefield 1 is pushing so many fewer frames on my machine as compared to others'.
