I got a gtx 970 a few days ago and i noticed that my gpu utilization is very low, at 5% with my normal graphics config.
Before this i had a 1050ti and it was at 15% utilization when playing tf2.
What i have tried:
Install only driver and not geforce experience
Set power settings in nvidia control panel to "High Performance"
Increased the tf2 graphics settings to max = gpu utilization up to 13% but fps are even worse.
Used the lowest possible graphics settings and dx8, gpu utilization at 3% and no fps gain.
Capping fps to 144 (didnt help)

Avg fps in small closed rooms (like a spawn) = 200
Avg fps during high intensity combat (bombing as solly) = 70 with dips to 30s
Overall avg fps is about 110.

I use a 144hz monitor and some of my teammates have 970s and get avg 200 fps overall.

Specs: i5 6400, 8GB RAM, GTX 970, 620W Seasonic PSU, M.2 WD SSD

Please help!
Thanks
