I get a bare 20/30 FPS on maxed settings in Rocket league on my current build, that i think should handle a game like that smooth as butter;

Intel 4 Core i5-4690K
Asus B-85 pro Gamer MLB
Gigabyte GTX 1060 6GB
Corsair RAM 16 GB
Corsiar RM650 PSU
Running on Windows 10

MSI afterburner shows a 100% GPU usage when RL is running, but the card is nowhere near working hard or trying its best. Its just quiet and totally NOT under stress from the game. Temperature about 55 degrees. Core clock from the GPU is running at its max.. CPU usage between 30-60%. Could there somewhere be a bottleneck? Or am I expecting too much from this card?

Tried a lot of things, pretty much everything i could find except a clean windows install, i really want to keep that as a last option.

- DDU and reinstall latest driver
- Checked Nvidia control panel settings, found nothing out of the ordinary. Tried several different settings with no effect. Manually added rocket league to 3D Setting panel to make sure it runs on the GPU, no improvement.
- Verified game cache, obviously no effect
- OC'd my GPU in the Gigabyte Engine, NO EFFECT.
- Tweaked in-game settings (full screen/borderless/V-sync on or off etc,..)
- 100 more thing's I already forgot
