Hey guys, hope you have a good easter celebration.
I recently "became" a PC-gamer. I was a PC-gamer back in 2000, but couldn't keep up with the technology when I entered University. I bought a fairly robust computer in pieces which I put togheter and fired up.
This is what I purchased (that matters to the subject at hand);
-CPU; Intel i7-6700K 4.0 Ghz
-GPU; Gainward GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6Gb Phoenix
-Memory; 4Gb x 4 2240 Mhz DDR4
Now; since I've been away from the PC-scene, I did a bit of research to come up with this "package". Some of my friends told me that the 980 Ti "is a beast" and that I would be able to max out EVERYTHING with one of those aboard. I considered the Titan X for awhile, but my friends told me about the difference in price vs. difference in performance-ratio, which made me "Settle" for the 980 Ti. A good decision, my friends said.
I've only tested a couple of games with my "new" rig, these being rise of The Tomb Raider, and XCom2. Both of these games I play on Ultra/Custom. The frame-rate I get on TR is disappointingly low; about a average of 40fps... :/
The same goes for Xcom 2, which isn't a very demanding game.. During gameplay (XCOM2, during missions), I get a steady 50'ish, but it can plummet to 30 even during cutscenes!
I have the latest drivers and use XpertTool to check up on my GPU, but... I don't know, according to this ;

My frame-rate should be WAAAAY higher...
Have I missed something? have I chosen poorly? Can any of you offer some advice?
Thank you :)
