Hi there!
So I've had my GTX 1080 TI for a while now (in a originally pre-built pc which I upgraded on my own) but procrastinated on really getting to know my setup and making the most out of it.
My problem is that I can't figure out why my fps are generally so low, even though my GPU runs at 100%. This concerns most games I play, including WoW, KSP (very CPU-heavy, I know), ESO, Total War: Warhammer, Tomb Raider (ingame benchmark fps: min 22, avg 26, max 32) and others. I'm playing on a 3440x1440 ultrawide, but I still think a 1080 TI should be able to handle this on some of the highest settings. I'll get around 20-40 fps, depending on where I am/what's going on - changing settings doesn't make a huge difference most of the time.
I ran multiple benchmarking programs (for 3Dmark see here) and got around 10 fps most of the time. Temperatures for GPU and CPU are around 35° C idle, regular use 55° C and go to maybe 70° C when under stress.
I played around with NVIDIAs settings (G-sync on/off, scaling, PhysX) and cleaned the drivers with DDU and reinstalled the newest ones.
Sooner or later I'll upgrade my CPU (and MoBo), but the current one shouldn't be bottlenecking my system, right? Especially since its usage is nowhere near 100%.
My full setup (all stock settings, no overclocking yet):
I've spent many hours skimming through the internet but I'm out of ideas what to try next. So any help and tips would be appreciated! If any additional information is needed, I'm happy to provide it.
