GTX 1080 Ti with PCI-e 2.0

The move to 990x from 980x is absolutely pointless. If you would like to remove the glass ceiling, and you do with that type of gaming, grab a modern processor capable of pushing the cards to their potential. 7700k or something.
Then you should post a video with a proper cpu to drive it. The 980x is holding it back, even overclocked. If 144hz gaming is your goal, you need to get a better cpu as well. Not sure how many %, but its at least a few with a 1080ti.

So, you upgraded from a 980ti, which is already bottlenecked by your CPU to a card which is even more bottleneck?
Why not having waited after you change platform. You could have gotten a better card (Volta in 6 to 9 month) for less money...
I doubt you see any noticeable improvement between the 980ti and the 1080ti.
It is a lot of money thrown down the gutter IMO.
My 2 cents though...

TL;DR:
With a GTX 1080 Ti I lose about 10% in Firestrike graphics to an X5660 @4.3GHz vs. a i7-7700K @4.8GHz.
The X58 system:
GA-X58A-UD7 Ver. 1
X5660
2x 8GB Corsair Vengence DDR3-1600 (Xeon gives us lot's of options here, 288GB potenial baby!)
Sandisk Plus 480GB SSD
Western Digital Black 1TB
Corsair CX650M modular power supply
DeepCool Tesseract SW Red - This is a very cheap case. This is my second build with it and I like it. Was $29.99 on sale.
No floppy or optical drive. Nothing on IDE interface. biggrin.gif
My other system has a i7-7700K @4.8GHz with a GTX 1080 Ti.
Firestrike graphics: 30,514

I swapped over my GTX 1080 Ti the my X58 system. As expected, the Firestrike scores decreased a bit.
X5650 @4.3GHz and GTX 1080 Ti
Firestrike graphics: 28,894
https://www.3dmark.com/fs/13539399
My old X5660 system is giving up 1620 points in graphics to the new i7-7700K system, or about 10%. I think the X58 platform does remarkably well when using a Xeon X56xx series CPU, which can be had for under $30 on ebay all day. i7-990x is still very pricey at over $200 on eBay.
X5660 supports 288GB RAM.
i7-X990X supports only 24GB RAM

Yes, but as E_D wrote above, synthetic... And really not CPU dependant.
Adding to this Tha at 1080p, a 980Ti is already more than enough.
980x has an IPC per clock roughly 40% lower than an haswell.
Either you game 4K, and then it would make (a bit of) sense.
But 1080p? nope.
Better invest in a faster platform for less than the price of a 1080ti, and grab the 1070 Volta equivalent that will be somewhere between the 1080 and the 1080Ti for 400 bucks in 6 months.

I will try BF1 with the 1366 system. What resolution and settings do you want to see? I have a 1440p monitor.
1080p maximum settings.
Just to see if there was more room at 1080p for the Processor to produce more FPS at 720p. Do you know for a fact there is not?
You would see what we already know, a better response to cpu speed increases. The problem is he doesnt play there. So while it is a datpoint, it isnt a relevant one. The results arent the same at 1080p. It doesnt matter what it can do at a res he doesnt play at.

^hehe, Man, straight to the point! Lucky we have you here!
I thought the point was to see if the CPU was holding the fps back in BF1 at 1080p or 1440p that is what he is testing.

I had to install BF1 on the X58 system with Xeon X5660 @ 4.3Ghz
Here are my settings:
1080p
GPU Memory Restriction Off
Ultra preset
FPS are between 100 - 120 while playing the single player campaign where I am driving the tank. After that I am on foot scouting for the tank and I am getting 130 - 165 fps. Not sure why this is. I suck at this game. Ha!
Here is a Youtube video of a guy playing with a 6700K @ 4.7Ghz and a GTX 1080 Ti @ 2000MHz on ultra preset. He is getting as high as 180ish fps. It is a different scene but shows roughly a 10% difference on the high end.
I would like to point out that the Xeon X56xx series is not Gulftown, it is Westmere. I am still of the opinion that if you have an old 1366 system that the Xeon is a nice way to breath new life into it. Skip all of the i7's for this platform as they are cost prohibitive. I have a Nvidia reference GTX 980 that has been flashed to raise the power limits on the card and it runs very well. I have less than $200 in it. For those that still have one of these systems it can be upgraded nicely for well under $300 for a GPU and a CPU. I would *not* recommend buying a system like this today. If you don't already have one forget it.
