New msi gtx 970 rly low gpu usage pls help

[Nerdlife]

My new msi gtx 970 has rly bad gpu usage on every game i play ... its worst than my old 670 . Is there anything i can do to fix it or my 970 is a faulty one ? I get 20-30% gpu usage with every game i play and rly annoying stuttering even when i see 60fps it feels like 20 , here is a ss when i run Blade and Soul http://prntscr.com/9ttbkz . Especially when i have something running on my 2nd screen like twitch.tv or a youtube video my fps drops down to like 20. Its rly worst than my 670 at each and every game i tryed. It feels like i upgraded to a worst gpu... pls help if u can .

what is your CPU?

intel core i7-3770K CPU @ 3.50GHz

250gb ssd - 1t hdd - 16gb ram - cx600 psu - using 2 monitors 120hz and 144hz .

Also after doing some research i found out that cpu might cause the low gpu usage and i noticed my cpu usage is only 20-30% and memory 6-7 gb

That CPU should still be pretty good for gaming. Your low reported CPU usage does not indicate a CPU bottleneck. If you were seeing a CPU bottleneck the CPU usage would be very high, not very low.

Alright but why my gpu only give me 25-30% usage is there any way to fix it or the gpu is faulty?
I think my setup overall is pretty decent for this gpu i dont get it why the performance is so poor like even worst than my 3 years old gtx670 i rly dont know what to do about it.

I don't know what the problem is but it's not a CPU bottleneck. I have never used MSI Afterburner because I haven't felt the need to overclock my 970s. The picture you posted seems a bit odd to me though. It doesn't seem like the core voltage should be turned all the way to the minimum like that.

Like I said, I've never used Afterburner or the other GPU overclocking programs so maybe that is completely normal. I just have a hunch that it is not though. Hopefully someone with more Afterburner experience can chime in.

Edit: It would have helped your chances of success if you didn't select a best answer before your problem was solved too. Lots of people don't come into threads that are already marked solved because they rightfully assume your problem has been solved.
