1070 low gpu usage in games

[gazp]

got problems whit guildwars 2, just upgraded my gpu to 1070, in game at well populated city gpu usage drops to  15% and fps also to 20, but on map where is less population it stays 40-60% gpu usage and at 60 fps, shuld it be higher? i don't have any frame limiters enabled in game and also no v-sync, in furmark evrything runs to 99%  gpu usage and same whit other benchmarks, my old gpu r9 280x also runed 90%+ when played guild wars but fps was crap anyway.

system specs are 

3600x

2x 8gb hyper x fury 2144mhz

cx500m psu

970 evo plus  m.2 ssd 

msi 1070 sea hawk 

aorus b450 elite

also i just had fresh windows install because added new ssd, did all the motherboard chipset drivers and also reinstalled gpu drivers multiple times

You might need to run DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) in Windows Safe mode to uninstall the previous display drivers if you have not already. Here is a good guide starting at 9:20:

Guildwars 2 has a terribly optimized engine and performance just goes off a cliff when many other players are nearby. The engine is mostly single-threaded on CPU, so your GPU is just sitting there waiting on the single CPU thread to catch up. Not really anything you can do, the d912pxy mod helps a little to take some load off the CPU, or limiting character models in the settings, but in any area with many players around the game will drop to 20 fps on pretty much any hardware no matter how powerful.
