First off, my hardware:
Intel i7 7700
NVidia GTX 1080
16 GB Memory
Gigabyte Z270-Gaming K3
1TB magnetic drive
The problem:
GPU runs @40% resulting in very poor FPS in games.
Also, I don't know whether related or not, while booting up the system, the dark pre-BIOS screen lingers for 3-4 minutes.
What I have tried so far:
Checked the CPU using burn-in - clean.
Checked the storage using CrystalDiskMark - clean.
Checked CPU temp - never higher than 80° Celsius. I also renewed the thermal compound.
Please tell me if I can provide more info.
Edit: Forgot to say that Furmark benchmark does hit 97% but not games like Dragon Quest XI or Final Fantasy XV
