Poor performance in games

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.
 
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.

Ran it again. Is this better?

Overclock your CPU and turn off any c-states (make it run @Full speed so no boost). Make sure your windows power management mode is set to performance, and remember to optimize your ssds. Also uninstall current drivers/gfe with ddu (link) (once with restart and then once without after boot just to clean up any residual files). Never install gfe, and use manual settings instead.
 
My suggestion is reinstall your OS. If you are on Windows 10 just use the reinstall option that keeps your data safe.

I had similar issues a few weeks ago and the difference after the OS reinstall was like night and day. I was totally sceptical this would help but it did.
