LOW GPU USAGE DESPITE EVERYTHING

>280x ran like a dream when I first built my PC in 2013
>99% usage, constant 60 fps in most games

>low GPU usage, low FPS in most games, just bareable most times

>tried switching RAM, no difference
>benchmarked CPU against reference results, fine

>buy 1070 hoping to fix this issue forever
>still happens
>Firestrike GPU score is 18,000, overall score 12500

I only get a high GPU usage on benchmarks, I tried CSGO on 720p and I was getting between 180-200 fps regardless of resolution, with a GPU usage of 19% and CPU1 at 80%, the others at 40-20%. Even Skyrim stays around 50 fps.

What gives, this has literally gone on for years and I have no idea what's causing it. I'm ready to give up senpai
4790k, GTX 1070, 32gb 1600 Mhz Corsair RAM, 250gb Samsung Pro SSD

>I tried CSGO
CSGO doesn't use your GPU almost at all, it's pretty much CPU based

dunno otherwise faam

A video of a guy with a 6700k showed him getting nearly double my frame rate.

I'm going to try flashing from the F8 bios down to F7 to see if it makes a difference anon. I checked clock speeds and they look normal.

I don't know if it could also be the PSU too, I've heard people say that can be a problem. But it seems to supply power fine during benchmarks or whenever there is actual resource demand.

Could be power supply / mobo. I'm putting my money on power supply.

What is your 4790k clocked at?
I know it's a very different situation, but I had really low usage on my two 670s until i OCed my 2500k to 4.6Ghz. Then I was getting ~95% usage.
