Okay, I'm new to this community thing, and would REALLY appreciate it if any of you guys come up with a good solution.
So, I have a 1070.
Bought it listening to all that 'FASTER THAN A TITAN X' hype.
It's a new build (Well, technically, it's old.
About 4 months old)
with a 6600k, and 16 gigs of RAM..
So, the first game I install is Grand Theft Auto v, and I modded the game right away with Redux.
The game would not run below 60fps in the beginning, with pretty much ALL the settings maxed out. (including AA and stuff..)
And then, an update for the game came in and naturally I installed the update.
After that, the game refused to run.
So, I thought of re-installing the game.
So, I re-install the game. Without any mods installed. And with aa turned off, I'm getting an fps rating BELOW 60.
At first, I thought that it must be an issue with the game itself. But then I started noticing the same shit in almost EVERY other game I'd play.
Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Conviction, Max Payne 3, (you get the idea).
And now, I think that it's got something to do with my GPU.
So, yeah.
HELP ME!
PLEASE!!!

Gee, imma go with a standard answer here

Try uninstalling all video card drivers (use a tool like display driver uninstaller aka DDU)
Restart your computer
Install all drivers
Restart again

I saw the 1070 perform about 60 fps at very high settings, but at 1440p. So I would assume you're not using your card to its full potential.
