Hello guys. This is my new PC for gaming. I play at 1080p 60fps so I don't require that beast of a PC. I'm out of my home for my final exams and will post a photo of my RIG after returning. Happy New Year guys. :D

Hi, I don't know if you recall this post:


I remembered it all too well. I wanted to tell you that after one year, you were very accurate in your assessment. It was under-performing--quite a bit--but I didn't know at the time what the problem was or how to address it. Several hardware scans failed to yield any clues so I let the matter go. It turns out, the motherboard was slowly going south and with it, the power supply was gradually weakening also.

I now have this very same gpu (GTX 1080 FE), in my new system-- it's bench-marking a whole lot better than it did a year ago, residing in a new mainboard, with a more powerful PSU.

Thank you for your excellent observation, it was right on the money! (y)
