I’m struggling with a new PC build; I’ve been testing games at 1080p, and my frame rates are averaging similar levels to my older GeForce GTX 1050Ti despite clearing all drivers. I don't comprehend the issue. When I launch Rust, it runs at only 50 frames per second on minimum settings, which is disappointing considering my graphics card’s cost equals a completely new computer with comparable performance. I have installed all of my latest drivers and they are up to date.

My System Specifications:
GIGABYTE GTX 1080 WINDFORCE 8G
RYZEN 5 1500X
16GB RAM (2 x 8) DDR4
B350 Tomohawk

I’m willing to perform stress tests if it would be helpful. I appreciate any assistance I can receive.

Yes, only the GPU was altered. Did you utilize DDU to remove prior drivers? What driver versions are currently installed on the GTX1080? Yes, I did. I don't know how to verify, but it indicates your drivers are at the latest available update – apologies for the capitalization error.

Regarding your system, do you possess any cooling fans? If so, could you specify their quantity and dimensions? Additionally, what are the temperature readings for your processor (CPU) and graphics card (GPU)? And finally, how long has your power supply been in use?

I possess one admirer positioned in the rear, and that’s all I have; this is my electricity and related items while playing games.

The processor feels slightly heated, yet remains within acceptable parameters. What's the age of your electrical unit?

Is your power supply unit equipped with an eight-pin Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCIe) power connector?
