Not Getting The Performance I Expected From My 780TI

This is my rig:

The three games I have tested so far have been Watch Dogs, BF4 and DayZ, all have steady FPS but drop frames a hell of a lot (20 FPS or so) every minute, now for a 500 quid card I would expect better, I'm only on one screen at 1080p as well.

It just doesn't feel as smooth as it should, on DayZ today I was only getting 10 FPS at times in cities, on my old 7970 I'd have atleast 20, something tells me there, there is something wrong.

I have a 550w PSU as well by the way.

I perhaps thought it may be a bottleneck somewhere but I'm no expert and need advice as I'm very frustrated by it.

Thanks.
 
Is your cpu overclocked?

Can you use MSI Afterburner in-game overlay, this can tell you what clocks your card is running at temperature etc, you'll be able to see if card is getting too hot & throttling back.

What make is the powersupply & how old is it?
 
Bf4 you shouldn't have any performance issue, though am not sure how a 780ti handles say full ultra..
Dayz on the other hand is a very badly optimised game, GPU plays very little in this, it's all about your cpu.
Watchdogs I have no idea on pc how it plays.
 
My CPU isn't overclocked no Marius, I'll have to look at testing it on MSI tomorrow. My PSU is a 550W XFX Pro Core Edition 80PLUS Bronze Power Supply

BF4 runs at over 100FPS but I get this little lag every minute or so which I shouldn't be getting shankly.

DayZ on my old GPU worked fine and that was a worse card, that's what I find strange. WatchDogs like BF4 runs smooth but every minute or two I get a big FPS drop?
 
check your temps and make sure that it is not overheating although i would expect the framerates to be high to have such high heat load. Try lower to medium settings and see if you get a boost in framerates
 
As above, get MSI Afterburner and keep an eye on the graphs (if you have a second monitor) or enable on-screen-display.

Have you done a full clean installation of drivers?
 
Change the power management option in the nvidia control panel from adaptive to "prefer maximum performance" and see if that helps. Might be a driver bug.

Btw, watchdogs is a terrible game to gauge performance on.

Overclock dat CPU, will be holding ur 780 back. U want at least 4GHz quad for a modern gaming rig :3
A Q6600 can run at 3.4GHz >.<

That won't be holding the 780Ti back, even at stock. Two 780Tis, then yes, probably not a single
