That PSU might blow up one day.
Although I have spent a lot of money on this card, surely it will be relatively future proofed? Also if I decide to change to a 1440 / 4K monitor then I wont have any other hardware to change?
Don't know what he's talking about, 650w G2 is a quality PSU, should be enough for your setup.
I would recommend upgrading your motherboard bios to the latest version (F7) and then oc'ing your CPU to 3.9-4ghz.
If you max out every setting does the fps still stay the same?

true, your future covered, as suggested Upscale your games- BF1 has the options Under Video/ Advanced setting > Resolution scale! bump this up to render the image at a higher res forcing the GPU to work harder

bf1 loves cpu.so overclock it.it will help massively in big mp games.stock will definitley bottleneck the card.
No the FPS still drops, it doesnt stay maxed out..
That doesn't make sense if it was a bottleneck then increasing the settings shouldn't lower your FPS.
Looking at this graph running a 1080 doesnt look like the CPU is a bottleneck.
Do a clean uninstall of the drivers using DDU and see if that makes a difference.
Thanks again for the advice guys..
Is there no way I could OC a little on the current cooler? I asked before, but just to confirm, around 80c is the safe temp limits for a 1700 chip?
Your processor shouldn't really bottleneck the 1080ti judging from the graph I posted above.
Max temp your CPU can take before throttling is 95c so spiking at 80c should be perfectly fine.
OK great! I might try a modest OC on the current cooler, my other concern (according to HWM) is that my peak voltage on the CPU is bang on 1.400v Is that not too high for stock settings??
Just tested bf1 64 player map, 1080p, ultra settings, direct X 12 got between 140 and 180 fps. At 3440 x1440 was between 80 and 100 fps which is about right if you compare it to the graphs in this review. http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/geforce_gtx_1080_ti_review,14.html
On max performance.what are your windows settings on? im currently on balanced ryzen, should I set it to maximum performance? or will that make little / no difference?
