Hey everyone,
Recently I made the jump to the windows 10 upgrade from windows 7, horrible decision! Anyways this was on Thursday. So at the time I was running a gtx 970 and it worked great on windows 7 and as soon I upgraded to windows 10, I started noticing stuttering and framerate drops.
On Total War Warhammer, it became very laggy at times. The benchmark test in the video settings area gave me an average of 55 FPS, yet it still lagged on the campaign map, when on windows 7 it was very stable. So I tried everything I could google and nothing seemed to fix it, and it seems like everyone who upgraded to 10 were having gaming issues.
Well, to add to my problem, I also ordered a Zotac GTX 1070 AMP Exetreme edition pictured here:

Other system specs are:
I5-4690K (With coolermaster hyper d92 heatsink)
8 gigs DDR3 Ram
MSI Z97 Gaming 5 Mobo
Brand new PSU Corsair CX750M (upgraded from CS650M today!)
500 GB SSD and 500 GB HDD
When I installed the GTX 1070, I was surprised it needed not one, but two sets of 6 pin connectors. I didn't have a 2nd set of dual pcie 6+2 for the splitter, so I used two molex cables that had 6+2 pins that connects into the splitter that came with the GPU, one for one 6 pin slot AND the PSU pcie cable for the other. (This was while using Corsair CS650M PSU) So it powered perfectly fine and I updated the drivers, removed the old ones with DDU, etc etc. So when I went to test my card with Heaven 4.0, it did HORRIBLE.
Everyone with a gtx 1070 stock scored between 90-93 FPS, those who OC'ed it scored 100-105 FPS. As for myself? AN AVERAGE OF 47 FPS! What the hell? So I thought maybe the way it was being powered by two molex 6+2 pin and two regular 6+2 pcie cable, it wasn't getting enough juice. Since I didnt have a 2nd set of pcie cables on hand, I decided why not just upgrade the psu since I was to overclock safely. So I went today to buy a new Corsair cx750m, wired everything correctly, got two sets of the dual 6+2 pcie cables etc....
Well here I am, still scoring an average of 47 FPS. I dont know what to do anymore, this is on a fresh install of windows 10 (completely wiped everything last night to see if it would work, nope)
The new nvidia hotfix (368.95) doesn't seem to change its performance either.
ALSO, i did revert from windows 10 back to windows 7 for a day before wiping clean and fresh install of windows 10 because of problems from reverting, and this gtx 1070 was also scoring the same FPS rates on windows 7.
What gives? RMA? Did upgrading to windows 10 seem to screw everything up?
EDIT: Forgot to mention that sometimes after powering down (not restarting), when I come back to turn it on I sometimes get a pure black display. I then have to power off and on to get picture black.
