Why I get only 30 fps in Arma 3 with about 40%-60% load for CPU and GPU?

I am getting 30fps in Arma 3 (In Multiplayer with mods, single player without mods works smooth 60fps) and I wanted to see why so I used MSI Afterburner with riva tuner. My CPU or GPU is nowhere near its max load. So it's either the RAM, HDD, MOBA, Internet or Badly optimized mods. Same-thing on low-settings.

i5 4690
GTX 970
16GB ram DDR3 Dual Channel
Maximus VII Ranger z97
Not OCed

Does anyone else get the same results?
How to get better fps on-line with mods? (Is it just not possible?)
Why doesn't it reach 100% for all the hardware?
 
Will try this out in a sec.

You have a really good CPU. Mine's the same except its a 9590 :)
Here's what I did to fix it.

So the first thing you need to do is to unpark all your CPU cores (Google it).
After you have done that go into Steam library and right click Arma 3.
Go down to properties then click it.
Now under the general tab click set launch options.

Put this in: -GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1 -GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=0 -skipintro -enableHT -high -nologs -nosplash -maxMem=8193 -maxvram=4096 -cpucount=8 -exthreads=7(You may have to change this) -malloc=tbbmalloc

This should add 20-30fps and it's really useful.
I would also highly recommending to upgrading to Windows 10
