I have a 980Ti but I just don't feel as if it's doing more than my previous 970... and in H1Z1 survival I'm getting 50 FPS in towns where my friend who has i7 Xeon with GTX 750 is getting a bit more than me with higher settings... I have an i7 4790 and I also watched a few vids of people bench marking with i7 4790k and GTX 980Ti and on BF4 I'm getting 100 - 117 FPS whilst they are getting 140+... I don't think my Corsair 650 is helping my 980Ti

Which Corsair power supply is it, the model number or series will help. 650w though is plenty for a 980Ti.

If the psu is not at the required level of your gpu
You will have some issues of its minimum you will be okay but here and there have problems
If you get a really high wattage psu that can accommodate all of your parts that would be best

If the power requirement is not met then the power supply will cause the system to hang or crash, because the card will suddenly need a 100% power load when a game is loaded. Really high wattage isn't good, you should get what you need.

DayZ is a very un-optimized game, so some people with lower end hardware will get better performance from it than someone with better hardware. What CPU do you have?

Your PSU may be labelled as 650W, but some shitty ones won't deliver that amount of wattage, though I doubt that is the case.

Talking about H1Z1 and I have an i7 4790k.

It's just down to the game being un-optimized. You would have no bottlenecks in your system.
