In the last year, I have upgraded my computer. The specs are:
i9-9900k
ASUS Maximus XI Formula Motherboard
3080ti
980 Pro SSDx2
32 GB Corsair Dominator 3600 RAM
EK Waterblock for CPU and GPU
Corsair RM850x PSU
Thermaltake View 91 RGB Case
BenQ ex3203r 144hz 1440p monitor
Now the GPU, SSDs, and RAM are all new. As is the EK Waterblock for my GPU and the case. The CPU, Motherboard, and PSU are the same since I bought them back in 2019. I wanted to get a few more years out of my CPU because it is really performing well in all areas still. But my games had all taken some serious hits when gaming, so I bought a MSI Suprim X 3080ti and a couple new 980 1TB Pros to reinstall windows on and for gaming. I also have several other SSDs for older games that I had before.
After buying the new GPU and SSDs, I reinstalled windows on the computer and started playing games. They are all getting like 20-30 FPS. Now I am playing some graphic intensive games like Cyberpunk, Forza Horizon 5, Halo Infinite, the recent Assassin's Creed Games, RDR2, Deathloop, Elden Ring, God of War and so on. But a 3080ti should be getting really high FPS in all of these games, especially for the price I paid for it. And I'm not playing in 4k, just 2k. I sent the GPU back to get tested thinking it was a bad egg, but it came back as showing everything was okay. I have run the User Benchmark software and it says everything is running fine, but that my new GPU and new SSDs are severely underperforming. I don't really have the money now to buy a new CPU, Motherboard, new DDR5 RAM, and a new waterblock. I'm assuming something is wrong with either my motherboard or my cpu. If I have to buy a new CPU, then I have to buy all new parts. If it's just the motherboard, I can just find a second hand z390 to last for a couple of years.
The problem is trying to figure out which one is the problem, the cpu or the motherboard. Any suggestions on what to do would be greatly appreciated. I assume it's a motherboard problem since the 3080ti, and the two 980 Pros are all underperforming. But I may be wrong.
One more thing of note, every Nividia driver that I have tried to update to has crashed the games or either lost signal to the monitor after a few minutes and I would have to restart the computer every time. The last Nvidia driver that has worked successfully for me is the 497.29 driver, which I currently have installed, Every driver since the release of the 500+ drivers that have come out, never work. Before this, I NEVER had a problem with my Nvidia drivers not updating successfully.
