GTX EVGA 970 very poor performance

[callum.r.burns]

Hi,

This is my first post on here as it seems no one else is having the same problem.

I am running games such as X-Plane 11 and GTA V on reasonably normal settings and I am getting around 30 FPS max.

I have tried everything online to solve the problem such as;
-Latest drivers installed
-check power supply
-changed Nvidia settings
-Vsync off

and also more that I cannot remember.

Here is my system spec:
i7 3770K
GTX EVGA 970
750W PSU
8GB RAM

( I think that's all you need of my spec)

I swapped my old GPU (ASUS 560) for this new GTX 970, and the performance seems to be the same.

I have ran a program called TechPowerUp GPU-Z which tells me that my GPU is limited by my Power supply, however, it also says my GPU is running @100% load when on a game.

Been struggling for a good few hours now, very confused as to why I am getting such low FPS on a fairly high end PC Spec.

Any ideas/Questions?

I'd suggest starting with the basics-first do a CLEAN install of your drivers;use DDU in safe mode, uninstall the drivers and get the latest ones. The fact that you seem to be stuck on 30fps leads me to believe you have Vsync somewhere enabled whether its in the Nvidia control panel or elsewhere so doublecheck (even though I am sure you already have) that nothing like that is enabled. Also it would be a good idea to install a monitoring program to keep an eye on GPU/CPU usage and temps just to make sure nothing is amiss.
