Windows 10: New Graphic Card (GTX 1070) doesnt perform good with newest driver

Hi there,
I recently got a used GTX 1070 graphics card and installed it in the PC. I also paid attention to all specifications and downloaded the latest drivers.
So far everything worked, but now I have a much lower framerate than with the GTX 960 that I had previously installed.
For comparison: I work a lot with the Unreal Engine and previously I had on average around 90 FPS. With the new 1070 I can bearly reach 80 FPS.
Same thing for games, including Virtual Reality, do not run as smoothly as I would expect from a 1070.

Apart from the low performance, there are no other problems. The power supply (630 W) shouldn't cause any trouble, the board is also strong enough and I am using the newest Windows 10 version. I also had a 1070 installed in the same PC for a short time 2 years ago and everything worked at that time.

However, I found that when I install the old driver version (368.00) that was included on a CD, all games and programs now run smoothly as I would expect from the card. So I think the problem is not the card itself but probably my software. Unfortunately I can not use this old version without problems, since programs like Chrome require a newer version to work properly. Otherwise, videos, for example, simply freeze.

I have also tried to update all drivers, run DDU over it, use older drivers (but they are either too old or have the same problem) or adjust the graphics card settings - all without success.

If anyone can give me a tip here, I would be really grateful for it. Otherwise, I'm afraid that I have to switch to AMD and hopefully this driver and card would work.

Thank you for any help!

:)

Try the following :

1 - Update your mother board bios to latest even if it was on latest and chose to discard/clear user data

2 - Right click desktop

3 - Choose : Nvidia Control Panel



4 - On left side of Control Panel choose : Manage 3D Settings



5 - On the right side of the control panel choose : Global Settings



6 - Look for Power Management Mode the choose : Prefer Maximum Performance



7 - Then find OpenGL Rendering GPU and switch from Auto to : GTX 1070

8 - Then lastly find Cuda - GPUs switch one time to : non then another time to : GTX 1070 which will resolve to all to refresh it

9 - Hit Apply and refire the app in question to test and report back

I have found that latest nVidia driver performs worse than the previous one. It could be my imagination but I swear nVidia releases are just hit & miss. You get one good, then you get one bad...
