Low Framerates for PC in general

[eitesharkman]

Hi, I'm wondering if you are able to help with this problem I'm having with my computer. So the problem is whatever game I play i get the same fps with any
graphic setting so on Battlefield 1 for example doesn't matter if the settings all put down to low or ultra I get the same fps with the same with other games
such as Rise of the Tomb Raider and it's rather low fps considering my specs. So my specs are GTX 1070Ti OC to 1607mhz GPU clock and 4404mhz memory clock,
i5 4670k OC to 4.6ghz, 8gb ram 1886mhz and 850w power supply. When running Battlefield 1 my cpu usage is at 100% and my gpu usage is always below 45%,
my ram isn't being all used about 6gb worth is being used. I've once had a gtx 660 and that put up more stable framerate than my 780Ti and now my GTX 1070Ti.
I've unparked my cpu cores and have used DDU(Display Driver Uninstaller) after everytime I get a new gpu. I don't understand how Star Wars the Old Republic
can run better on my first GPU ever an GTX 660 than my GTX 1070Ti any advice I would love to hear thanks.

That part about CPU usage always being 100% sounds suspicious to me. I think something running in the background is using up CPU resources, so your computer can't push the videocard very hard at all. In effect, your 1070 Ti is sitting around waiting for the CPU to give it something to do.

So I advise you to take a look at all the programs that are set to start when you boot up Windows, and only allow the programs that must boot with Windows to do so. You can run other programs manually when they are needed. Check CPU usage when you are just idle on your desktop, it should be very low most of the time. Take a look at all the processes that are running, most should be obviously Windows related, but keep an eye out for anything mysterious.
