Hey guys!

So I have a potential problem with my GTX 1070 from Zotac

I previously had a 1060-6GB running in my setup which is as follows:

i7-4770k
12GB DRR3 Dual channel XMP
SSD

So my problem is, in my most played game, i now get less performance with the 1070 than I did with the 1060.
I was able to keep steady 120fpsw ithout ever dropping or stutters and ever since I put the 1070 in, my fps wildly fluctuate between 100 and 130fps with sometimes tanking as low as 80 fps and extreme stutters..
I noticed that my card hardly stays at >90% gpu load and only uses 2.5-3GB VRAM at a maximum whereas my old 1060 sometimes used up to 4.8GB..

I'm really getting frustrated as I can't seem to get behind the problem, I really hope you guys can help me..

Did some 3DMark Firestrike already, heres my results: https://www.3dmark.com/fs/15673437
