Hey guys, I just got the MSI GTX 970 and for some reason it isn't running Hearthstone as smoothly as my 750 TI. The game is a little choppy. My temperatures while playing are around 55-60C and my GPU usage never goes above 30%. For CS:GO, my GPU usage increases to close to 90% at times so I don't think it's a bottlenecking issue. Both games are installed on the same SSD

I have tried messing with my Power settings and tried several different nvidia settings and none of them have worked apparently. Anyone have any suggestions?

Specs:
i7 4770k
16GB Kingston Black DDR3 RAM
Windows 7 Ultimate
PNY 120GB SSD for OS
Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB for Games
1TB Seagate HDD for random programs/files
