New system not going beyond 30FPS

[zeus.almighty81]

Dear All,

I recently upgraded my components for gaming; However, the new system though seem powerful enough, seem to be stuck at max 30fps or lower in GTA V. The specs are;

Intel Core i7 7700K
Asus Z270 Tuff Motherboard
Corsair 8GB LPX DDR4
nVidia 1070 (EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 GAMING, 8GB GDDR5, ACX 3.0)

Now while playing GTA V at 2560x1600 (maxed out) the system does not go beyond 30fps, even drop at some parts to 10-15fps.

What seem to be the issue? Am I pushing it beyond the limits and expecting too much out of it? or is something creating a bottleneck...

The temps on both cpu and gpu remain normal even after hours of gaming.

Optimize in GeForce Experience and run it again.

Your frame rates will be better.

That worked. Some settings were downgraded but now the framerates are 60 and above
