I noticed when I'm playing some newer AAA titles (AC Odyssey, Battlefield 5, ect.), My CPU will be anywhere from 90% to 100% on all 4 cores and my GPU will be anywhere from 50% to 90% and I get around 60 or lower FPS at 1080p. Even in not-so-new games like GTA 5 I'll get 60-70 FPS at any given time but my CPU usage is high and my GPU usage is lower. Is this normal for this setup? No matter what graphics settings I use the FPS only changes slightly. What should I do? Overclocking is not an option because I have a non-z170 motherboard (the motherboard was donated to me when my friend upgraded his rig), but if it will help a lot then i will consider getting a Z170 motherboard and overclock.
My setup:
i5 6600k (stock speed)
Asus b150 Pro-D3 motherboard
EVGA GTX 1070 FTW
16GB RAM
Asus 1080p 144 Hz monitor
