Just got myself a 2070 super to replace my 1060 and the FPS is lower on some games, like planet zoo and it does not seem to be giving me much of a difference in other games.

i7-4770k overclocked to 4.49/1.5 i think
ASUS Maximus VI Hero Motherboard
GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
Team Group Elite Vulcan 8GB (2X8GB) DDR3 RAM/ so 16 gb total
And i have a 256 gb SSD for windows a regualr 1TB hard drive and another 1TB SSD.
 
I have 2 monitors, 1 is a Asus VG258 164hz 1920x1080 and a 4k LG monitor running at 1920x1080 as my secondary monitor. On TW 3 kingdoms im getting like 50 but i think that is getting a slight increase and on PLanet zoo im getting like 36 and i was getting 36 with my old card too. (with a big zoo) Ive checked my cpu usage and its like 100% sometimes but im not sure whether its bottling. and v sync is off. Using msi afterburner and also nvidias own fps counter on and off.
 
It just feels like my CPU usage is higher than normal, would that mean my CPU can't handle the new GPU? Even Overwatch isnt giving me 250fps, its giving me 164fps? I have no idea whats going on
 
I have it OC to 4.5ghz, other than that i dont really understand the ins and outs of what the newer CPU's offer, i know they must do more but its just knowing ill have to upgrade motherboard and RAM too, which will be a big hit on cost again. i know my settings on those are as they used to be, uncapped and none v sync enabled. I only bought this card on the suggestion for an upgrade and now im sort of wondering if it was a waste of money
 
Regarding the FPS counters I was using in game or the ones inside geforce experience. After testing I think the FPS generally is higher on most games but some are lower such as Overwatch. The main thing I've been focusing on is CPU usage during my normal usage. I tend to have a game on the 165hz monitor and a YouTube video or twitch stream on the 4k monitor. (With 1920x1080 resolution) I noticed with my previous card that game FPS would drop with watching anything in 1080p on a game such as planet zoo. A High CPU usage game. But drop it down to 720p and it would be slightly better in game with 0 stuttering in the video. Obviously if I close the browser and just play the games I get more fps.But i could have sworn I never used to have any issue playing and watching anything at the same time. Even the most intense games. So should I just suck it up with the thought process of having to upgrade everything else around my gpu, or is a complete format and reinstallation of windows my best bet to see exactly what my setup is capable of. I'll give the 1440p a go on my monitors, however if there is no improvement then what should I consider doing at that point. Thanks everyone who's chimed in with help so far.

Now i have something else that im worried about, I re installed windows and now my computer has a black screen with a blinking white dash in the top left corner for a few seconds, then it boots up but its much slower than it used to be.
 
Just did that and then went through and input my Overclock stuff. Still getting slow boot up with that white dash. However I think my high CPU usage game isnt causing twitch to stutter anymore
 
Thanks for help anyway, I think I'm ok with what my FPS is like at the moment and it feels as tho I've cleaned up the CPU utilisation a bit with the fresh windows install. Only thing that's bugging me is the slow boot up now and the black screen with the blinking white line top left for about 3 seconds before windows starts.
 
I used the reinstall windows feature in the os, and then updated the bios with flash and tried to look through the boot options using videos to see if I could enable quick boot options but not quite sure if everything I need enabled is.
