[SOLVED] New Rtx 2070 super not performing as expected

[Joshuamkc]

Okay, I apologise beforehand for the long post!
I got an MSI Rtx 2070 super gaming X trio for Christmas. This was to replace my gtx1060 3gb. I did a clean uninstall of my gtx 1060 drivers with DDU before shutting down and removing the card. I've installed the RTX2070S now and it's not performing as expected. Battlefield 1 is the game that I'll be using as an example. Online benchmarks say that I should be able to to run the game on epic settings at around 160 FPS. I get around 140 which isn't exactly much lower. The real issue is when I drop my in game settings to low. On low settings I should supposedly get around 260 FPS. I get 140. Before you think it's a bottlenecking issue, my cpu usage is around 30-40%. It's a 2700x so shouldn't be a problem. It is also worth mentioning that my gpu usage is around 30-40%, obviously an issue. I ran gpuZ whilst playing the game and saw that the GPUs power usage was rather low at around 100W during gaming. My gpu clocks are find during gaming at around 1900mhz. Pc power settings are also set to high performance as are my Nvidia 3d settings. If you need to see my entire build it is here: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Joshuamkc/saved/9HL9GX
Thanks in advance to anyone who replies and please let me know if you need more info!

Don't look at cpu usage as a whole; it's inaccurate.
Because of the multiple cores/threads, you have to look at the usage of each one; even a single thread can make you cpu limited.
The fact that fps basically stayed the same after settings were lowered indicates a cpu limitation... makes sense on your 1080p monitor.
Rather pointless on the other monitor, since it's only 60hz and has no adaptive sync, which would mean lots of screen tearing above native refresh.
