Hello
I have built a new system with following components-
i5 8400 @2.8ghz
Msi GTX 1060 6gt OC
8gb ddr4 gskill ripjaws

The problem is, most of the games like Forza horizon 3, watch dogs 1 and 2 are not using GPU completely and I'm getting frame drops and stutters. Forza works fine for half hour then stutters. They use around 70% of my GPU except for watch dogs 1 which uses 50-70%.
There's no bottleneck I suppose as cpu usage is not more than 70% (50% avg). It stays at around 60C not more than 65C. What is the problem here?
I'm using latest drivers and didn't touch any BIOS settings or OCed anything.

Thanks in advance

Games on HDD it's 7200rpm and didn't cause stutters when I played the same with old GPU. Most people don't have enough budget to buy a dedicated SSD for games. They play on HDD and don't stutter, so that shouldn't matter.
System managed paging enabled on all drives.
Single stick ram is used (I have two slots only and will be buying another 8gigs in future)
