Poor performance in games

[Speedsweeper]

So I just upgraded from a 980 to a 1070 founders edition from EVGA. I'm currently playing Just Cause 3 and GTA 5. Both games are auto set by the GeForce experience tool. I was getting bad stuttering on those games with my 980 at times, but both are doing the exact same thing with the new card. I was hoping to be maxing out those games with ease, but it would appear not. Gaming at 2560 x 1440 on a dell U2715HM at 60htz.

Any ideas what could be happening. I have had a look through the NVidia control panel and everything is set accordingly.

Specs are

i7 5820K
16GB Corsair vengeance DDR4 2666 MHz
EVGA GTX 1070 Founders

Cheers in advance.

Hm, something doesn't seem right I have gone from a 980 to a 1070 and it is about 50% faster across the games and benches I have tried.

It isn't throttling/getting too hot is it?

I don't think so. TBH I don't really hear the card working, meaning the fan spinning up or anything like that.

My 980 benchmark score.

1070 score.

Does this look right?

What driver are you using? Also, make sure you don't have a virus or something that is eating away at your performance, as something is wrong there.

Using the latest Nvidia driver. AVG free antivirus is the only one I use.

Ran it again. Is this better?
