I upgraded several months ago and never really noticed an issue. Finally had a little time off work this weekend and did some bench marks and noticed that I was getting really low frame rates. I had upgraded to a 1080ti from a radeon 380 because I picked up an Occulus rift last summer.

Today I made sure to update to the newest drivers, that didn't help (was getting 24fps in rise of the tomb raider) reinstalled windows 10 and that still didn't help. I even reran a 3d mark test and compared it to my radeon 380 score and it was higher with that.

For what it's worth when just in menus for far cry 5 I was getting nearly 1000fps, but for the bench test was getting around 25.

I was reading some other threads and people seemed to think that lower resolution was causing a bottle neck. So for what it's worth when not doing VR I play on a 35inch BenQ 2560 x 1080 @ 144hz monitor. Before this I had run on 3x27 monitors on eyefinity with the radeon 380.

Let me know what other stats you need, any suggestions appreciated.

Okay solved the problem. Just posting back here incase someone else had a simular issue. Basically I never did any maintence when changing from the AMD card to the Nvida one.

Running benchmarks I noticed the pcie was x16 1.1. I flashed the bios and now got x16 3.0 and went from far cry 5 benchmark 24.9 on ultra to 89fps.
