Help With new Graphics card

[jakebcknghm]

Hi all,

Pretty much im having a hard time sorting out my new graphics card for gaming. I've recently built a new computer but im only getting Max 60 fps on games if that (battleborn 15 ??) not sure if its the certain games but i would have thought i would get 100+ on ultra graphics on any game at the moment.

This is my build :
GPU : Asus GeForce GTX 1080 Strix OC Gaming Aura RGB 8192MB
Cpu : Skylake Core i7 6700K
Motherboard : Asus Z170 Maximus VIII Hero
RAM : Corsair Vengeance 2 x 8GB 3200mhz

Any help would be amazing quite stuck at the moment to get it sorted.
ive tried Benchmarking it while overclocking while it works well still only hits 60fps ?
i have a old screen im not sure if that is the problem (HD asus 1080p)

Oh Right ok, but then i should be getting 60fps constant if its capped at that ? a lot of the times in games i'm getting between 30fps - 50fps is because of the monitor too ?

I just looked abit into my monitor with CPU-z and it says its a 1920 x 1080 pixels @ 50-76 Hz, and on benchmark im getting fluid 70fps easily when my graphics is working, just seems whenever i play any game the graphics card doesnt even try. it just sits on min core Mhz.

Did benchtest and got this score, why cant i get this in games though ?

 

[jakebcknghm]

I think so i looked earlier when doing the benchmark GPU sat at 54c and CPU never went above 52c.

Ye ill have ago reinstalling the drivers

Yes! I reinstalled my windows starting from new with drivers and it seems the newest version of my GPU Graphics card was causing instability, playing games at the moment at 1900 core Mhz and getting 220FPS without Vsync. so hopefully it stays like that. thanks for the help all
