Absurd drop in fps after changing monitors [resolved]

Hello and thank you for looking at my post.

So let me try and explain my situation. I've recently bought a 1440p 144hz monitor with Gsync. Now before I did this, I used to run the game on a 1080p 60hz monitor with DSR turned on at 4k on the best appearance preset, I was getting around 70 to 90 fps on most zones except busy cities/zergs. Now it was my understanding that DSR shows the frames you would get if you owned a monitor with that resolution. So since I was able to run the game at 4k with a nice amount of fps, I thought if I got a 2k monitor at 144hz I would still be good on fps and I could get gsync for when the frames would go below 60 fps.

Now I seem to be getting worse fps with the new monitor. Most of the times I can't barely push 60 fps. I even turned the preset to best performance and barely pushed past 75fps.my specs are:8700k stock16gb RAM 3200hzGTX 1080 Strix

I found your problem. Running RAM with 0.0032mhz is not advisable in this day and age.

really? Why though?edit. Never mind I see my typo. The Ram is 3200Mhz, Anyway I kinda messed around with some settings on windows and stuff and my performance is much better now.

mind sharing what windows settings you played with? I'm having similar issues, with a 1080Ti to boot
