Hello all.
I'm new to the forum and was hoping to get some help. I just recently upgraded from an Nvidia GTX 1050Ti to a GTX 1080 (Zotac) to improve my game performance and frankly, it doesn't seem to be working anywhere near as well as it should. I have been getting benchmark scores between 1050-1600 on various runs with the Heaven benchmark (see below). I play World of Warcraft and Empyrion: Galactic Survival and have been getting pretty noticeable lag and highly variable framerates on both (about the same as before the upgrade). I've seen framerates in the range of 5-150FPS with high and seemingly random variation and a lot of unpleasant skipping.
I've tried several things like wiping and reinstalling/updating drivers, changing PCI slots, disabling onboard graphics and get minimal if any improvements. Nvidia control panel is also set to "prefer maximum performance" instead of saving power. I'm trying to figure out if my processor or something else may be bottlenecking the card. If anyone could offer any suggestions, they'd be much appreciated.
