EVGA GTX 1070 performing horribly

[Jeremy_10]

I got myself a GTX 1070 and I ran CS:GO just to see what the FPS would be at and everything as low as possible I was getting 20 FPS.
I have a FX-8350 I'n going to look if it overheats. I ran benchmarks and the results were beautiful.

Have you installed the latest drivers for the 1070 correctly? If so, you shouldn't be having this problem. Currently, however, it seems that the game is running through your onboard video card.

 

[Jeremy_10]

I installed all the drivers. There is no on board video. (Can't find reply (on my phone.))

 

[Jeremy_10]

I did a Benchmark and the average for my build was around 12000 and mine got 9000

I assume you've uninstalled AMD graphics drivers AND have performed a "clean install" with the option checked on the NVIDIA driver installer.
-Try going through the NVIDIA driver control panel to see if there's any irregularity.
-Check with Device Manager to ensure that it is recognized by Windows under Display Adapter.
-Does your motherboard recognize and has the default GPU as the 1070 in the BIOS?
-Is this on all games or just CS:GO?
-What was your previous video card? What was your FPS and in-game graphics settings at with that card?

Ya I uninstalled all of my AMD Graphics and did a clean install of NVIDIA Divers.
Windows recognizes the card
The only game I have installed so far is CS:GO, the other ones are still installing.
I use to have a R9 380x and I would get around 120FPS on Medium-High Settings
Everything Recognizes the card. I have a feeling that it could be the CPU. I have a FX-8350 and as of right now it is at ~1V and ~1.5ghz and only for certain programs it will increase to ~1.5V 4.4ghz

Likely a bottleneck from the CPU. Heck, my 1070 almost bottlenecks my I7-4770. It takes it to over 80% usage in all cores. I'm almost glad I didn't go for the 1080, because I might have been CPU bottlenecked. I also don't think I could run SLI with an I7-4770. If you cannot upgrade that CPU, you wasted your money on the 1070.

Hmm, it is strange that the CPU would be acting differently with another card. I'm unsure how AMD works, but maybe there's a chipset/cpu driver that may have accidentally been uninstalled when you removed the AMD driver?

No, the cpu works amazing actually, it's just when it does not think it has to work it doesn't. I ran a CPU-Z cpu benchmark and the frames skyrocketed. It went from 30FPS to 350-400

I checked them all literally for 2 hours, nothing. Even got my friend, he saw nothing either

I'm just letting you know what I observed. At max settings and max GPU utilization in most games, my CPU (which is much faster than an 8350) is almost bottlenecked. Take it for what you will.
