Inconsistent usage with new 1080ti

[MrStealYourRank]

So my friend got a 1080ti from gigabyte this black friday and he just installed it and says he downloaded the new drivers and deleted the old ones. However, once he opens a game like GTA V the usage of the card drops down to 20-25%(Sometimes lower than 10%) and the CPU is at 50%. The game was running at 1440p at Very High settings and he got about 30-40 fps, any ideas of whats happening?

 

He has an i7 4790k(no OC), 16GB DDR3 RAM, 800W PSU, for those who wonder.

downloading new drivers and deleting the old ones seems odd.. as for as far as i know they both use the same drivers..
