Upgraded from GTX 1080 to RTX 2080ti No Performance Increase

Bit of a pointless upgrade if you ask me. I bought a 2080ti 2 weeks ago and sent it back for the exact same reasons, no benefit. If you game at 1440p a single 1080ti is plenty. I use 2 x 1080ti but a single 1080ti is plenty from my experience. The RTX cards offer nothing, I for one will not be buying an RTX card again until they know how to use the tech properly, 2000 series is certainly not for me.

I have a 1080 not a ti

Once upon a time I did a GPU upgrade and seen nothing in fact it could have been slower, nothing I did worked with driver cleaners/sweeper etc and in the end it took a fresh Windows install to fix.

Not sure how but Windows can be that way sometimes nut this was probably XP days.

Pop in a spare SSD/HDD and do a quick bare Windows and driver install and see if any better?

On the new modern warfare i am getting the exact same fps maybe abit worse and some freezing should I uninstall windows? And try that

Have you done a full gfx card driver clean install?

Download gpu-z and post a screenshot of that.

Upload the screenshot to Imgur and paste the link in here

Yep ive done a full install and I am not seeing a peformance increase in Modern Warfare

Up to you but it is a PIA to do that if it does not fix issue, not got spare drive and do like I said above?

What motherboard & what slot do you have the gfx card in?.

I will do that mate, what exactly am I looking for in GPU-z

Have you put on MSI afterburner and used the monitoring overlay with GPU and CPU utilisation? That should indicate where the issue is.

With GPU under load see if its 16x 3.0 (it will be 1.1-2.0 at idle).

Still a good card for 1440p, I used to game on a single 980ti when I had 1440p at only 120hertz, was plenty for all games. I wouldn't change your card personally unless you are changing everything, especially to a 2000 series card.

I agree with this. You need to understand which part of your system is maxed out when you're experiencing frame rate drops. If your video card is sitting there quietly whistling to itself while the CPU is locked at 100%, then there's your answer right there.

If everything is sitting at low utilisation, then you probably have a software issue, and cleaning your install should help.

Afterburner gives you options to change the power delivery to the card. If this has no effect for you, then you probably have an underpowered PSU that can't deliver the power that the card needs (I see that 650W is the recommended spec for a 2080 ti-based system).

I would not be surprised if the CPU was bottlenecking here. My Brother had the 3570k and a 980Ti and while playing MW, it was stuttering really badly with 100% CPU usage. The fact its not overclocked (I know it can't be) might indicate the CPU is the cause here.

Check the CPU load while gaming, I'd gamble its hitting 100%

how old is the power supply? if its the older generations it might be running out of poof
