Massive Under Performance

theiowaninja · Apr 7, 2018

So this started a couple months ago but I just haven't had the time to fix it. Long story short my rig used to run strong and out of the blue it is unbelievably unstable. I used to be running GTA V at 100+ frames but now I barely reach 50

Set up:
Windows 10
Corsair 850 power suply
GTX 1080 ti
Intel i7-8700k at 3.70 GHz
ROG Maximus X APEX Mobo
8 gigs of ram

What is the cpu/gpu temp and usage during the game?

theiowaninja · Apr 7, 2018

GPU: 41 C bounces in between 50 and 100%
CPU: 51 C bounces from 30- 70% usage

Booted the game again to get very unstable frames ranging from 14- 50 frames. Very bad stuttering. I've installed the latest Geforce driver to no avail.

You might want to replace your GPU. Sounds like the GPU is messed up.

Is there anything that can be done to improve my GPU? I'm looking at new graphics card but Bitcoin miners have skyrocketed prices.... :/

rgd1101 · Apr 7, 2018

the temp stay the same when the usage go up and down?

woahwoahwilly · Apr 7, 2018

You don't need a Bitcoin mining GPU if all you do is game. I have a 680 in my older rig and it works fine for gaming.

@rgd1101 no it will change up and down a few degrees

@woahwoahwilly I was just saying that the miners have raised prices on GPUs exponentially.

woahwoahwilly · Apr 8, 2018

Alright. You should probably get a GPU that can game. Though miners have raised the prices, you might be able to get another 1080. Strix 1080. If the performance doesn't improve you might have a bigger issue than that. Your CPU might be weighing down the performance. If you try the Strix 1080 (top-of-the-line 1080 in my opinion) and that doesn't work, your CPU could be the culprit. Try an i5 8400 if that's the case. I've used an i5 with a 1080 before - that should work. If that fails, you've got a serious issue. Maybe it's the RAM.

ANOTHER EDIT: Crap I meant 8600k... keep the Core i7 you paid too much more for it. You COULD get a Titan if you really want. @Rogue Leader I didn't know he had a 1080 Ti. What's the difference, by the way? Not in the name, but performance.

EDIT: It's a 460, not a 680.

woahwoahwilly :

This user has a GTX 1080ti already why in the world would he replace it with a 1080? The user has a i7-8700k which is the fastest gaming CPU right now, why in the world would he get an i5-8400 to replace it, which is slower.
