Poor framerate

[Dassaric]

I'm getting poor frame rate in most modern games when I don't really think I should be. 

All games are set to max, and the resolution is set to 1080p. I wouldn't think to be going sub 60fps in modern games considering the card and CPU that I have.

 

Specs and temps:

Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

Intel Core i7 4790K @ 4.00GHz    41 °C turbo to 4.4GHz
Haswell 22nm Technology

16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 800MHz (10-10-10-30)

MSI Z97 PC Mate(MS-7850) (SOCKET 0)    37 °C (bios isn't up to date as i dont have a usb drive to flash with)

C27F390 (1920x1080@60Hz)
Acer H236HL (1920x1080@60Hz)
Intel HD Graphics 4600 (MSI)
3071MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (EVGA)    56 °C (is not even a week old)
ForceWare version: 391.35
SLI Disabled

447GB PNY CS900 480GB SSD (SSD)    33 °C
931GB TOSHIBA DT01ACA100 (SATA)    31 °C
931GB Western Digital WDC WD1003FZEX-00K3CA0 (SATA)    31 °C

 

I'm suspecting I'm having a CPU bottleneck but even then, would it really hit performance that bad?

CPU usage is almost always higher than GPU usage, but it's not normally at 100% unless it's assassin's creed origins

looking into other people with the same GPU and CPU combo I see that they have over 90fps with max setting 1080p in games I barely get 60 constantly in. And I know it's not the best idea to play a 1080p.

From the specs you listed. I do not believe it is due to any CPU bottleneck unless you have something running in the background while you run the games. Try loading task manager next time you load the games and see if there is anything else using your computer's resources. If you feel that there is a bios update that can help resolve your issue, an usb flash drive is probably a very cheap investment to make.

 

You can also use this to bench and compare your system to people with similar configurations. http://www.userbenchmark.com/

Your 1080Ti should have more than 3GB of VRAM...

windows recognizes it at 11gigs but speccy says it has 3.

 

and heres my userbench http://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/8025622

and while loading a game aside from disk usage and cpu usage there isnt anything else have any spikes or anything
