GPU not at 100% usage

My 960 appears to be bottle necked while playing Just Cause 3.  The GPU sits at ~60% usage even when I'm struggling to get over 30fps. Temps remain in the 70c for all components. Rest of my build consists of: i7 2600, 12gb of RAM, GTX 960 2gb.

I think it may be the lack of vram, but I'm not sure.

Yeah, but I have it downsized to 1080p. I did try to run it at 1440p for a second, but I was at 16fps

Sorry, i'm going to thread hijack and ask how you check GPU usage please?

Edit:I have messed up that quote.

Is your CPU Usage maxed out?

 

Just saw your comment, turn down shadows and texture quality to reduce vram usage.

Well, you are running a 4K monitor... So...

This doesn't effect anything, I doubt he's running 4k
