Asus GeForce GTX 980 UNDER PERFORMING.

On BF4 (Ultra Settings) I'm getting 50-60 fps on average.
My friend has the ASUS GTX 970 he's 70-80 fps.
Any ideas as to why this is happening?

Just in case is not him, what CPU do you and your friend have?

OP probably has v sync enabled. What resolution are you running and what is your friend running? From the sound of it, you are running 1440p and your friend is running 1080p.

We are both using i5 4690k at 1080p

Are your CPUs the same clock speed, on the same map, doing the same thing? Battlefield is hard to compare across systems because it's dynamic and doesn't offer a repeatable benchmark. Maybe he overclocked his GPU and/or CPU more than you.

And you're sure that you have V-Sync off?

Test your friends card in your machine. See if it's as fast in your as it is in his. Or, test your card in his machine and yadda yadda....

Yeah V-Sync is off.
I just played Minecraft with my brother and was only getting 70fps.

How old are you? In my teens we constantly lied about our gaming performance when we were 16yo, 17yo. So your friend telling you he is getting 80fps might be a lie.

Even if it isn't a lie, there are many issues at hand here: What were the exact settings, what resolution, what part of the game was this measured at, which program do you measure fps with, etc...?

What OS do you and him have?

Like there are so many variables here, just 1 different setting and he could be getting 80fps with low shadows, and you have shadows set at max and you may be getting less fps and again which part is this tested at and what program? Do you both use fraps or are you using different programs?

I don't believe your GTX 980 is under performing, I think you are comparing apples and oranges and coming to a conclusion with no basis in fact.
