Windows 10, lower game performance

Hey guys, after formatting my SSD+HDD and reinstalling Win10, I now have considerably less frames than previously. I have installed the latest drivers and done multiple scans. I have gone from having 200+ FPS to having ~90FPS. This causes 1 metric F-tonne of tearing and eye strain when playing games. I have monitored temps and nothing out of the ordinary occurs (CPU=57 Celsius, GPU= 70 Celsius). I have turned off Xbox DVR and been through all the regular tips for boosting FPS. I have tried both stable and beta drivers to no avail.
Many Thanks

 

My system is as follows
CPU: AMD FX6300
MOBO: GA 970-DS3P
GPU: MSI R9 290x
RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance Low Profile
PSU: Corsair CX600 
Primary: Drive: 256GB SSD with games & OS installed 
Monitor: ASUS VG248QE

Follow your posts bro.

Have you tried doing Win10 optimizations? OS might be hogging CPU.

It's a 290X and a FX-6300.

It's safe to assume his CPU is at 100% and his GPU is at 60%

THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You are on a need to know basis, and you don't need to know.

CPU doesn't exceed ~70%, GPU literally didn't got past 50%

I was playing a game to get my most recent loads... 

I will try Win10 optimisations rn

I feel like it is driver related.

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!

None as of yet, any specific suggestions? I'm finding a lot of vague stuff

Try these (minus the code-splicing one; I don't know about that one tbh)

Still no increase in performance, I suppose I'm just going to have to wait for AMD to fix this in their drivers

I'm sorry but I really feel like it is a bad install of Windows.  I think you should give it another shot while installing all the drivers.

I've clean installed all drivers 4 times, and reinstalled windows with drive formatting twice.

Probably not going to work but also reset the cmos aka reset the settings in the bios. Then start up windows and go back into your bios and change the settings to what is best.

I'd just like to note my Win10 issues in games lately has mostly been the quality of the AMD driver (definitely lower performance). I'm running 15.7.1 (most current) and it's kind of unstable. I get issues on the desktop with the driver stuttering, causing my displays to do a sort of image replacement/calibration. I'd try the 15.8 beta driver that recently launched. (I'm downloading it now, hoping it's less of a mess than this one.)

 

Edit:Clarification details.

Well, just by what you're saying I feel like you're doing it wrong.  But it might be a hardware failure.
