Is my FPS alright?

Question

Hey, so I just upgraded my GPU so now my pc has:

GPU: GTX 1080TI (light use for 6 months, 100% wasnt for mining, I know the guy who sold me is trustworthy)

CPU: i7-8700

RAM: 16GB (I think DDR4)

And I just tested the game on a AC: Odessey and I'm getting lower than expected results, I got told that the 1080TI should demolish 1080p yet on the benchmark I only got average 40 FPS and when I went to try it on the ship fight I was on in my save the fps was around 66-70 FPS (im on 60hz screen but I don't think that should impact the FPS) Is this normal? Because when I checked benchmarks on youtube I saw some guy with a worst CPU than me and same GPU have better FPS on the benchmark than me, and thats with 1440p.

edit:

Ok, so I checked again and:

  1. I was a bit wrong on the benchmark part, I actually have the same average fps as the video I saw at 55 FPS, however the video was still 1440p so thats still a pretty big difference

  2. I forgot to mention I'm running 2 monitors if that changes anything(although I wasn't running anything in the background during the benchmark of course)

You are running single channel ram, that will definitely affect you performance whan paired with a highend gpu/cpu.

You do have the monitor plugged into the GPU, right?

Check both System and GPU power settings via their respective control panels.

Ensure RAM is correctly running in dual channel configuration.

Running a Userbenchmark might help us diagnose which parts are underperforming: https://www.userbenchmark.com/

These are the results that I got, actually seems alright so I think I might just been paranoid haha

Single channel RAM is going to hold your system back significantly in memory bandwidth intensive titles like Odyssey. So thats your issue.

Interesting, so getting a second 16GB ram stick is going to be a big jump in these games?

Yes... or moving to a 2x8GB kit.

You could also attempt overclocking your current stick.

Also after you’ve done all that. Some games have settings that are stupidly taxing. Or you have a crazy render resolution. I’m not familiar with the settings in that game, but hopefully someone else can chime in. Did you try turning the graphics all the way down and see what your fps hits? If you still have low fps even around 60 something is not right. Update us after you’ve tried these things
