System:
CPU- Core i7 3770
RAM- 16 GB
Card- Gigabyte GTX 970 G1
OS- Windows 8.1

Running dual monitors but I have the 2nd monitor hooked up to the integrated Intel graphics 4000 so the GTX 970 is running only one monitor.

I have done a clean install of the Gigabyte 344.11 driver but am still getting around 50ish FPS in World of Warcraft. I got better FPS from my EVGA GTX 570. Prior to wiping the display drivers using DDU I had tried the most up to date driver along with other variants but my FPS is still having issues. It can't be a CPU bottleneck because I was getting much better FPS on my old GTX 570. I have messed with the display settings (DSR, resolutions, Ultra vs medium) with no change.

FOUND AN ALTERNATIVE/WORKAROUND TO EVERYONE WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.(GPU NOT OPERATING ON FULL LOAD)

Yep, i Purchased Giagabyte gtx 970 about a week ago and i was facing the same issue with Ryse: Son of Rome where others were getting 70-80fps, i was on getting around 35-50 on everything maxed out, same with far cry 4 due to Low GPU utilization, with all my drivers updated, bios updated and everything you could possibly imagine.

Finally, I got frustrated and literally gave up, so last night I decided to install Dragon Age: Inquisition , and with the installation happening in the background, I resumed playing Ryse: Som of Rome, and the results were unbelievable !!!

Now the GPU was at full load, and the frame rated jumped to 80+...

Now the GPU was at full load, and the frame rated jumped to 80+ !!, I again tried Far cry 4 and got the same results!!

CONCLUSION: Run a CPU Intensive task in the Background and the fps will speak for themselves. It's a temporary fix until Nvidia release a fresh batch of drivers.

Lemme know if this works for you

Cheers!!!
