Hello all, I recently bought a Gigabyte GTX XTREME GAMING 1070 because I wanted to play more games in higher settings(I was rolling with a GTX 650 and struggling to play Skyrim). So I installed the card and the first game I tried to play was the Witcher 3 on medium settings because I thought my PC could more than handle that but I ended up getting about 10-15 fps and really choppy audio output. I had similar problems with my old card but they were not nearly as bad because I played on minimum settings. I've reinstalled the drivers and I've run a computer benchmark program but I can't find out how to solve the issue. The benchmark program told me that my computer was SEVERELY underperforming(everything below the 30th percentile) but I don't know how to fix it. Also another thing the benchmark noted is that my CPU background was running at 43%. Any help is appreciated and here are my specs:
Asrock Z77 Extreme4 motherboard
Samsung 850 Evo 250GB
Seagate Momentus 2.5" 500GB(for storage and strangely the only piece that did not underperform by being in the 70th percentile)
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 C10 2x8GB
2 Samsung 1050p monitors and a main Samsung U28E590D 28 inch 4k monitor for gaming
Corsair 750W power supply
Logitech speakers
An old Razer Lachesis
A Logitech keyboard
And clearly my Gigabyte Xtreme Gaming GTX 1070
Edit: I just ran my benchmark again and my GPU performed well this time(91st percentile) but
my CPU scored below the 0th percentile, my RAM scored in the 1st percentile and my SSD performed below the 6th percentile. Also I'm looking at my task manager and it says that I'm using at least 35% of my RAM all the time. I'm using http://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/3002988
