First of all, thanks for taking the time to read, and for possibly providing me with a solution to my problem!
CPU: i5-4670k OC'd to 4.0ghz
GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1070 (reference card) OC'd to +220 Core Clock, +550 Memory Clock
When playing games like Battlefield 4/1, Hitman, DayZ or any somewhat CPU intensive game, my CPU usage maxes out to 99-100% and my GPU usage only gets up to around 45-80%. My FPS is also lower than benchmarks that are using specs similar to mine, and I'm getting some FPS stutter. CPU usage stays at 99% most of the time.
This makes me think it's a bottleneck, but my friend (who knows a lot more about hardware than I do) says that the 4670k should definitely not be bottlenecking my 1070. I have no clue what is going on and it's really bugging me.
Some extra info: my GPU temp is usually around 70 degrees, power limit is 108% and it's usually not being hit. So I don't think it's the GPU's fault.
