1070Ti underperforming?

Hello all,

New to the forums!

I recently purchased a ASUS GTX1070Ti STRIX 8GB, an upgrade from my MSi GTX980 Armor 2X 4GB.
I've had it installed for a few days with the latest drivers, however it doesn't feel any better than the 980, it feels... worse.
I only really play WoW nowadays, occasionally CS:GO, I was getting around 70-80 constant FPS at max settings (on WoW) with the 980, but the 1070Ti I only seems to be getting 40-50 FPS.
This doesn't seem right considering the 1070Ti is supposed to be around a 60% better card.

Setup:
Ryzen 7 1700 @ 3.6GHz (OC)
Asus GTX1070Ti Strix 8GB
MSi B450 GAMING PRO CARBON MAX WiFi
32GB Corsair Vengeance LED @ 2866MHz (OC)
Corsair VS650 PSU

Main monitor: 27" electriQ Curved | DisplayPort | 1920x1080 @ 144Hz
Secondary monitor: AOC G2590FX 25" | 1920x1080 @ 60Hz

I'm guessing it's not a CPU bottleneck as it's performing worse, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Yup that is too low. It sounds really stupid but have you actually checked that it is a 1070ti and not a 1060? They are identical to look at.

Thats odd, i first thought psu was issue but 1070ti only uses 20-30w more power than 980. Benches below tally with your 60% figure. How are monitors connected? Are they running at same Hz?

Main is at 144Hz & second is at 60Hz, both 1080p.
Had both running at 144Hz with the 980 with no issues

Have you tried uninstalling the Nvidia drivers and GeForce experience, then reinstalling?
Also you could try drivers from a few versions ago.

I have, when I first got the card I was a little surprised, thinking maybe an old graphics driver or something related was causing the problem, I did a fresh install of windows, still the same low performance.
I'll give some older drivers a try, will keep the thread posted.

Have you tried any benchmarks like 3D Mark? That'd give you a clue if your GPU was seriously underperforming compared to similar setups.
I've ran a few Firestrikes but the scores didn't save, so I just ran another.
All have been ran with only the main display plugged in, no secondary display.
FPS was between 25 - 57, very underwhelming.

can you show performance tab like this

Your CPU is considerably faster than my old i5.

Do you have Nvidia Overlay enabled in Nivida Geforce experience?
Set Power mode option to maximum in Nvidia Control Panel, and see what the Optimised setting for the game is in Geforce Experience
