So this 1070 is blowing my old 280x out of the water in pretty much every game except cs go. normally in 5v5 mm id get well over 300 fps in most maps but now its only around 200-250. Ik that cs is a cpu intensive game but I shouldnt be getting worse fps

my cpu is an i5-6500 w/8 gigs of ram
 
Solution
first get rid of your amd and nvidia drivers:


If you have graphics or driver issues, one of the most common fixes is a clean uninstall and removal of your graphics drivers.

To uninstall your drivers, first download and run Display Driver Uninstaller, and follow it's recommendations of booting into safe mode and ect.
(This is a direct download link so you don't grab the wrong version)

You'll download a compressed file called "[Guru3D.com]-DDU.zip"
Right click and choose extract.
Go into the folder and run the DDU v##.##.exe
This will extract more files to this folder.
Run Display Driver Uninstaller.exe
Choose Yes when it asks you to boot into SafeMode...

After you've rebooted into safe mode.
When DDU comes up, if it hasn't selected your GPU manufacturer (Nvidia/AMD/Intel) then choose it from the drop down list
Press the Clean and Restart option
If a window comes up asking to disable the Windows automatic installation of display drivers click yes.

After (or before removing the old drivers, just put the new ones on the desktop or somewhere handy) rebooting back into Windows, manually download the latest drivers from Nvidia or AMD, don't use auto detect, choose you GPU model and OS from the drop down lists.
Nvidia: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
AMD: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download
Intel: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/detect.html

then go into nvidia control panel, manage 3d settings, power management mode, prefer maximum performance

Here's the thing, you can not see those extra FPS, so after a certain point the GPU doesn't try any harder to generate more frames that no display in the world could show. I don't care that you think you can see them or that it makes you better, they don't because your display is physically incapable of showing them to you. AMD GPUs are a bit less power efficient so they'll try harder to show more frames.

you can go on the nvidia control panel, if you have an nvidia card,and force application (CS:GO) to use your gpu. you can search up a guide on youtube. if this is happening with all your games, check pc for dust and high temperatures. if temp is high and you have lots of dust in pc clean it out. or you can set it up that alll applications are forced to use gpu. (These are fixes i have used in the past)
