Greatly Underperforming PC

Evening All

Over the past few weeks i've been having some incredibly annoying issues with my PC. Regardless of what game I play when the game itself gets more graphically intense and demanding the usage of the GPU goes down , for example in areas such as open fields the usage of the card is 80-90% but when you enter dense towns the usage goes down rather than up. This results in really low framerates for games such as BF1.

Specs:

Motherboard - Gigabyte z97x Gaming 5
CPU- i7 4790K
GPU-2X GTX 980 SLI (Problem still exists with one 980)
RAM - 2X 8GB DDR3 RAM
HDD and SDD - Seagate 3TB and Kingston 250GB

Temperatures for the GPU remain around the low and mid 70's and the CPU is easily good enough to deal with a 980 so I'm pretty sure it can't be a bottleneck issue.

Anyone sure of any solutions?
 
Solution
ok, for testing purposes, leave either just the 8gb module or the 2x4 or just 1 of the 2 modules in the 2x4 and check again the same games.
