As the title says but this goes to ALL games at 1920x1080. In league of legends, highest and lowest, I will drop in team fights to 30 fps and some stutters. Overwatch is the same on all settings 30-60 FPS. Fallout 4 will drop to 15-20 fps in cities, every setting. Black Desert Online, lower fps on lower settings than a friend with an old comp, 40 fps difference sometimes. 20-30 FPS in cities. Not sure which GPU he uses, but it's AMD and not one of the 7970s from back then. All the latest drivers, reinstalled Windows, tried 7 and 10, no difference. I have seen builds very similar to this and didn't see these issues/fps reported. I have no idea what to do at this point.

I have RMAed the Motherboard and CPU, neither are the issue. I figured it couldn't be the GPU, but went through 2 970s before this and had similar issues. Compared the FPS to another comp with a MSI R7970 Lightning and the difference in fps was much better.

Parts:

ATI R9 390

i5 4460

ASRock H97m Pro4

Corsair Vengeance 8 GB DDR3 1600

EVGA Supernova 650 G2 PSU

Download HWMonitor. Report back the CPU temp, GPU temp, CPU utilization and GPU utilization while you're gaming. The main figure I'm interested in is the CPU temp. I'm asking because I'm curious if the CPU is thermal throttling due to excess heat.

Sorry for the long time to reply. Tried it on League as a test, but the CPU temps never passed 50c and the GPU temp was around 55c idle and ~64c in game. The CPU utilization was around ~85% per core, but that was with youtube, discord, skype open so I didn't find that odd for an i5 4460. The odd thing is that the GPU utilization jumps from 0-50 or 0-99 while just in the client, not the game. I figured that was really odd because watching the r7970 in afterburner, that doesn't happen.
