I've been having a reoccurring issue, with my 1080, where regardless of what I do, i receive low gpu usage and low fps in games; these include Grand Theft Auto V, Counter-Strike: GO, Forza Horizon 3, Rainbow Six Siege ,etc. GTA and Forza rarely surpasses 60 fps, staying in the consistent range of 30-50 ,where as Counter-Strike runs around 90-120, never 144, which is my monitor's refresh rate. One thing in common with all of these games, is that I receive noticeable drops and stutter in fps.

Solutions I've been told or have tried -
I'm always up to date on my Nvidia drivers,v373.06, and windows update, and i've made sure that temperature isn't the issue. Every "solution" in the Nvidia Control Panel ,I have tried--including setting the power option to "Prefer Maximum Performance", along with every other setting in windows; I've read that it could also be my monitors fault. My monitor is the Asus VG248QE, which is a 144Hz, 1 ms 1080p monitor, and that the GTX 1080 has issues with a 1080p monitor. Or even my Power Supply Unit. I've been told that it's my processor, the AMD FX-8350, thats been bottle-necking my GPU, is that true? I plan to buy a new processor, and was wondering if the FX-9590 will be able to handle that beast of a graphics card?
Basically, Is there a fix for this issue, or do I have to purchase new components to satisfy my 1080? If you need anymore information I'll be happy to conform.
