    Downgrading my Asrock motherboard BIOS version from the latest version to version 8.01 BETA solved my fps problem.

I have exactly the same problem. 
After the last update I have a dramatic FPS drop.
- GPU utilization does not go above 30%.
- Video card power consumption does not go above 80w. 
- I don't have any problems with other games. 
- Benchmark tests (dx12) show the system without any problems.
- Before the update, I could get 160hz with ultra settings without any problem. 
- The game can't use GPU or fallback is activated.

I think it's related to the latest graphics update.
