New GPU bottleneck?

[burritob0i]

I have just recently installed my new graphics card (NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti) and I am only getting about 30-40% usage across all my games. At most times I am able to run 60 FPS consistently, but every once and a while it begins to become inconsistent and my FPS drops and rises dramatically. The games even crashes after a while. The same goes for my CPU ( i7-7700). The 8 cores are all running at about 50-70%. However, while running Superposition Benchmark, the GPU usage works extreamly well at nearly 100% while the CPU is about the same. 

 

Specs: 

GPU- GTX 1660 Ti 

CPU - i7 7700 

RAM- Hyper X Fury DDR4 2666 2x4

HDD-  WD Blue 1 TB

MOBO-  AsRock H110M-HDS

 

Thanks to anyone who responds.

You don't happen to have vSync on or some sort of FPS cap, do you?

Use DDU to clear old drivers, install fresh

Seems like you're capped at 60fps. Probably you had Vsync or frame limiter turn on.

Should I turn them both off?

Only if you want the framerate to go higher than 60 FPS...

I suggest watching on videos on Vsync and what it means to use it Disabled vs Enabled, and what to look out for (which you've come across now)
