Hi,
I've just finished upgrading my pc from:

I5 4690k
GTX970
16Gb ddr3 ram

To:
I7 7700k
GTX1080.
16Gb ddr4 ram

While waiting for my mobo to arrive i installed the 1080 on my old system and i had instant better graphics after updating my video driver. went from 40-50 fps on medium settings in Ark:survival evolved and PUBG on the old 970 to a whopping stable 60 (with Vsync) and everything on epic with the 1080.

Now the new motherboard has arrived so i built in the 7700k along with the 1080 and the new ddr4 ram, booted up and installed all the drivers from the disc that was with the mobo.

Now i have stable 30 fps in any game i boot up, ark, pubg, rocket league, HoTS, WoW...
It's almost like some sort of vsync is active.

i have turned on and off vsync manually in nvidia settings, also tried the default "application controlled"

I've reinstalled my graphics driver, reinstalled all the drivers from the mobo disc but to no avail...

My power supply is decent enough to handle the upgrade, 1000W.

Hardware wise everything is properly connected, i've quintuple checked by now.

If anyone has any ideas to what might ber causing this please reply, i'm completely at a loss here.

Grts.
Zazzles.

If you don't have 10 you can download the media creation tool from here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10. Then you can use the tool and a 16GB or larger USB drive to create a hard copy of 10.

No i have not reinstalled windows since i dont have a hard copy, i have an online activated win10 x64.
edit: i kind of figured windows 10 would handle this properly anno 2017.
 


As said about, you need to do it.

Always do a fresh install of Windows when making a major platform change like a motherboard.
