Ryzen 1950x + 1070ti = low FPS?

[spitefulg]

I got a Ryzen 1950x for CPU Mining which works great and since I had an old minecraft and star citizen account I thought I’d stick a graphics card in to play some games. Unfortunately on minecraft I’m getting about 35fps with the shaders and 90ish without, star citizen runs about 20fps. I’m a n00b when it comes to graphics card so I was wondering if you could help me out with what settings I need to adjust, since this £450 card is a little disappoint at the moment.
BIOS is latest, Nvidia Drivers are latest (tried reinstalling, didn’t install Experience etc)
Set RAM to 2933 in the BIOS and set the CPU to be able to ramp up to 3.9Ghz but nothing else has been changed.
When I check Task manager the GPU floats between 10% and 50% in game.
Set up
Ryzen 1950x with a Noctua NH U14s TR4 SP3 CPU Cooler
ASUS PRIME X399-A Socket TR4/X399/DDR4/S-ATA 600/E-ATX Motherboard
Corsair CMK16GX4M2B3000C15 Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2x8 GB) DDR4 3000 MHz
Corsair CP-9020094-UK RM1000x 1000 W 80 Plus Gold Certified Modular
Crucial MX300 275GB SSD (Primary were the two games are also installed)
Inno3D 1070ti X3
Plugged into a 4K TV but currently running at 1080p 60Hz

It is just old games run poorly on new hardware...
Try a different game like dota/csgo etc., you will see it is running well

Doesn't matter I can use Ryzen master to limit the cores, this appears to do the trick, I can also use bcdedit /set numproc 16 to automate it.

For Minecraft idk. But for Star Citizen I can tell you exactly why.

Star Citizen Alpha 3.0 is EXTREMELY unoptimized, everybody is getting around 20-35fps all the time. If you had 32GB of memory, you could probably hit 35fps cause it's an absolute memory hog.

Try out Star Marine, that should give you an idea of what FPS in Star Citizen will look like in the future.
