What's you fps like. I have a second system. 3700x 16gb gtx 1070. Usually around 50-70 dx11

60 on full HD, capped with vsync, because of display. Sometimes it drops a little, when much stuff in view. But I have it on everything except textures, low.

I use DirectX 11 and some times I switch to DirectX 12. I will never use Vulkan, Vulkan fluctuates my FPS on my PC from any where from 40FPS to 20FPS to 60FPS. Vulkan sucks and Vulkan has sucked on all of my PC's since 2016 with DOOM (2016). It is just that that Vulkan sucks badly on Windows PC's for me. DirectX 11 is so much more stabler for me and DirectX 12 I can get at least up to 180FPS+.

180 FPS is faster killing videocard than needed. would not notice difference between 120 and 180 anyway, but power usage is higher, temp is higher, load is higher.

If you trying to warm room, that is understandable.

My PC is good enough to play any PC versions of video games on PC at 180FPS at max graphics.

I did not say pc is not good enough. Obviously pc is too good for such game. I said about waste of electricity and wearing card when it is not needed.

What are you talking about? How am I wearing and tearing down my graphics card? 180FPS does not mean I am wearing and tearing down my graphics card.
