Windows 10: FPS worse

I Built my own PC, and it was running fine for about a year. Recently I noticed that my FPS was noticeably worse. For instance I was getting about 140-120 FPS in GTA V High, but now I get 70-50 FPS Medium. My specs are:GTX 2070 Drivers up to date Ryzen 5 3600 16 gb 3200 Ram

Low FPS with new GTX 980 graphics card


Hi,

In October I bought the MSI GTX 980 graphics card as an upgrade for my Radeon R9 280x. I presumed that I would be getting a lot better performance in games since the 980 is a much more powerful card, this was the case in some games like GTA 5 where I can run the game at much higher settings. However I have found that in a lot of other games my performance seems to have gone down, as an example I will use Borderlands 2 as I have been playing this a lot recently.

Using my old card I was getting pretty much a constant 90+FPS when playing Borderlands 2 but with my current card I am currently getting less than 60 at most times and during combat it can drop to 20's. This doesn't make any sense to me as I have not changed any other hardware other than the graphics card and somehow It is performing worse than my old card.

I am open to any suggestions and willing to try pretty much any solution. I understand that the CPU is one of the biggest FPS factors and know that an upgrade to that would be needed for a lot higher FPS but surely an upgrade shouldn't cause an FPS decrease.

My system specs are listed below.
