4K Gaming with 1080 ti Choppy

[biGGsy]

Hi, I just got my new 1080 ti and while I don't have a really up to date rig like most of you guys - I am pretty sure I don't have a bottleneck.

However when I play games in 4k, while my framerate is high (60-90) the game doesn't seem smooth. I don't really know how to describe it, only that you would know it if you had experienced it.

Bit of screen tearing going on on some games and the smoothness of the game just seems off.

Has anyone experienced this?

Thanks

Andy

I am running a i7 3930k @ 4250mhz on a rampage IV extreme with 16gb of DDR3@ 1600mhz.

Thanks

Sorry to talking to myself but could it be v-sync? This seems to fix the problem but then the framerate gets limited to 30fps and the mouse seems a little laggy.

HAz:

run a Fire Strike Test and a Time Spy test on 3D mark and compare to mine.

I got time spy to 8509 after overclocking grafx card to 1806 (didnt touch memory).

I have a dell up3216q that apparently is 60hz @ 4k.

Is there a setting to switch to 60hz?

Thanks

 

[biGGsy]

there were some settings on the monitor OSD.

Response Time was set to Normal so I changed it to fast.

Also I was using HDMI dable and in Nvidia panel max selectable it 30hz, Switched to displayport and I get 60hz.

I set both of those, gonna try it now.

 

[biGGsy]

The displayport does say 60hz but screen tearing still there. When I turn on vsync, it caps it at 30fps.

Lowering the RES to 2560x1600 increases vsync res to 60 and looks amazing albeit lower res. Must be something to do with game.

So annoying.

 

[biGGsy]

I see a 30fps and a 15fps but no 60fps!

 

[biGGsy]

Ah now I get 60fps. Must be the game why I can only do 30fps with vsync @ 4k.

Its Plants vs Zombies GW2 (dumb I know but I love it!)

 

[biGGsy]

ok thanks for all the info guys, I used geforece experience on express mode. Will try uninstalling tomrrow.

Cheers

 

[biGGsy]

yeah but late for that now, just bought 2 4k dell monitors. Great for work though. Gaming has to come second unfortunately

 

[biGGsy]

On another note, I have 16gb @ 1600mhz. Do you think I would benefit in games by upgrading to 32gb @ 2400 or 2666?

I only have a rampage IV motherboard.

Also Will my CPU limit me to what RAM I can put in?

 

[biGGsy]

Hi hornet, so would 3 x 8gb 2400 work with my Rampage IV extreme and i7-3930k @ 4250?

Thanks

 

[biGGsy]

you know just as you were writing that I was thinking should I just go grab a new bundle!

I just think with my CPU running at 4250 and being only used 60% on average, is it really worth it?.

I am guessing having a new board with DDR4 would help aswell tho.

 

[biGGsy]

might just grab one of these when back in stock. Business pays for it so what the heck eh?

Thing is I only play PVZ GW2 lol and that runs in 4k @ 110FPS apart from the crappy tearing issues.

 

[biGGsy]

ye i think after a think - i am quite happy with my system now as is. If I can get to the bottom of my tearing issue I will be happy.

I dont wanna get the upgrade bug where you just keep adding and adding until u spent a bloody fortune!

 

[biGGsy]

Can you buy me a 34" LG 1440p ta.

i tried those ultra wide screen and didnt like them. just not enough height for me!

 

[biGGsy]

http://www.3dmark.com/spy/1363305 got that with some overclocking


then http://www.3dmark.com/spy/1364212 that just now on stock.


first time I ran it i got 7600 at stock but not got that high stock since??

Great score!

 

[biGGsy]

On monitor 1 I was using HDMI cable but I have switched to the other one for gaming which has a "mini displayport". I just ordered 2x standard displayport cables to get them both onto DP cables.

Thanks guys!

 

[biGGsy]

OK...

I would need stilts to play tho!

 

[biGGsy]

ok well today FPS on vsync just went to 60. It might have just needed a restart!

Itsworking anyways and no mouse lag either!!!

Thanks for all the help.
