Hello everyone, so my build is a fx 8320 gtx 1070 16gb ddr4 and 2 500gb ssd's. When i play overwatch on my new card on the low preset i get roughly 150-170 fps. My old card a gtx 950 would get me 140 on the same settings. Is there anything I can do to help my fps? Or is my cpu bottle necking my card that much? Just seems strange that a newer card 4 times the price and v ram would only get that much of a boost.

When the CPU holds you back, one way to tell is if the only real difference is that you can run at higher settings with a better videocard but the framerate doesn't increase much. This is because the better videocard is helping as much as it can, by allowing higher settings for example, but it is still being held back overall by the CPU.
In your case if the 950 peaks at 100fps high settings, but the 1070 allows 130 at ultra, I think that does indicate the CPU is the reason. Sheer brute force of the 1070 is allowing for some fps increase, and settings increase, but it can only do so much by itself.
