Hey guys I installed my new GTX 1070 ftw and it runs my games perfect solid 60 fps I use v sync since I have a 60hz monitor and I can notice the screen tearing.

So I have the OSD and it says my Gpu usage is 43-50 I never seen the GPU usage go higher than 60. I play on 1080p and my fps is a solid 60 with settings all the way up.My CPU is an i5 4460 @3.2
I can't see my CPU usage it's not in precisionxOC but MSI afterburner has it.
So from that is my GPU being bottlenecks anyway or is it just saying that the game is just not that demanding that my GPU barely has to use its resources mind you this was W3 and DS3 when I saw the usage.
Even when playing games my temperature is under 68 Celsius and my clock speed was under 2ghz

Well if your fps is good then you can't be badly bottlenecking. When you turn off Vsync your usage should go up, since once your GPU hits the desired Vsync limit (60fps) Usage can be less. So most likely you're just maxing out your games easily at 60fps ;)

Especially if you're playing on a low resolution or low demanding games.
Just turn off Vsync if you want to actually test the limits of your system.

Yea my thoughts are if I had a higher refresh rate monitor like a 144hz I'd probably be able to use that also because probably I'm rendering a lot of fps already
Thanks for the response :)
