In games (specifically Rainbow Six Siege), my GPU (MSI GTX 1070 Ti) has dropped to 0% usage while loading into maps and on occasion during gameplay. Stuttering has also happened in other games like Overwatch. I've tried numerous times to uninstall and reinstall my graphics drivers, and I've tried many other methods to fix this problem as well. Not sure what the problem possibly could be? Help would be greatly appreciated!

Specs:
CPU: Ryzen 5 1600
GPU: GTX 1070 Ti (MSI Gaming X)
MOBO: Msi B350 Gaming PLUS
RAM: Ripjaws 2800 Mhz DDR4 (16gb)
PSU: EVGA 750 GQ

Probably bad driver installation also I would check the hard drive/ssd.
