Hi all,
I just recently replaced a GTX 680 with a GTX 980 Kingpin. I am wondering if it's possible that I'm bottlenecking the GPU as the performance gains in games that I have been playing haven't been as significant as I would have expected at comparable graphics settings. I'm only running 1080p for reference.
My current specs are as follows:
ASUS P8Z68-V LX Motherboard
Intel i7-2600K Processor w/ Corsair H60 watercooler @ 4.9GHz
8GB (4GBx2) G.SKILL RAM DDR3 1600Mhz
Crucial M4 256GB SSD
I should have plenty of juice as I'm running a high-rated 1200w PSU.
I overclocked the video card to +100Mhz on the core and +250Mhz on the memory.
The ASUS motherboard that I'm using is a PCI-E 2.0 (3.0 ready) but the i7-2600K doesn't support 3.0. I'm not really sure if that makes a big difference in performance.
Do you guys think that I may be bottlenecking the GPU? Are there performance benchmarks that you would recommend running to see if my numbers are falling in-line with comparable builds?
Thanks!
