So i'm working on building a brand new high end PC, I bought the graphics card (Gigabyte Windforce 1080) earlier than the rest of the parts and decided to put it into my current build which is quite outdated at this point, rather than have it collect dust until I can complete the new buil. The first game I played through was the new Shadow of War and noticed much lower frame rates compared to my friends with the same 1080 cards. I averaged around 60-70 on "High" settings, sometimes dropping into the 50's, while my friends reported playing on maxed settings with a constant 90+ FPS. So the first thing I assumed was it was the CPU that is bottle necking the card from its full potential however then noticed that the game settings showed how much RAM the game was taking up and remembered that I have trashy 2x4GB sticks of generic RAM and that could possibly be the bottle neck. So I can't determine whether its just the system in general bottle necking this OP card, if its the RAM or if there is something wrong with the card itself?
Specs of PC right now:
CPU: i7 4790k (No OC)
GPU: Gigabyte Windforce GTX 1080
RAM: Some generic 2x4GB DDR3 1600Mhz
MOBO: ASUS H81M-PLUS
OS: Windows 10
Thank you for any help.
