poor performance for higher end pc
https://hastebin.com/uvutetogup.vbs i've recently been playing through the dragon age series and started inquisition. i've been noticing low fps and gpu usage (around 30% area without sli). i tried ...

Given your rig's specs, there's something strange going on. Some software that's causing the sub-normal performance you're having. No idea what, so have you tried a clean boot?
did a clean boot and went to redclifffe village to benchmark it, the fps was 12-24. i forgot to mention i did a clean install of 10 x64 pro.
@failbot97; So I just checked on my own rig and I'm getting a consistent 50-60 fps in Redcliffe. (Lowest was 47, and that was just momentary.) And I observed the same performance at The Crossroads. I believe the approx. 20% drop from the average I see elsewhere may be due to the high number of NPCs in those locations who have event- or proximity-driven dialogue triggers. (But what do I know?) In any case, it was still well within the acceptable range.
So... Your rig *should* be producing acceptable performance, but it isn't. The same game on a (basically) similar machine doesn't have the problems yours does. Ergo, there's something else on your machine that's sucking-up the cpu/gpu cycles.
No idea what though. ☹️
What a/v are you using? Any hardware overlays (e.g Razer, Logitech, Steelseries) or background software (e.g. Teamviewer) running?
EDIT: For reference, here are my current Graphics settings. (Note the 144 fps in the top-left corner. That's typical for me with the fairly static/menu items.):
i am using displayport as it it the only way to get 60hz with my monitor. hardware overlays? i odn't think so, is the nvidia geforce experience overlay one? i don't think there is any background overlay that might be causing that. my cpu usage was around 14% when i last played and my gpu was 20-30%, could this be a bottleneck or power issue? my psu is a corsair rm850 80w+80 gold.
Things to try if you haven't already.....
delete/rename the files profileoptions and profileoptions_options located inside your DAI saves folder....this resets all in game options to default and sometimes fixes strange things.
Go into Nvidia game settings and try the "optimized" setting for DAI and if it is already there, try custom with settings fairly high.
Resize your display in computer settings, IIRC it showed you running 1920x1080 60hz and natural setting for monitor was IIRC twice that, so resize it up to the 3940x2160 60hz and retry after reboot....resize back if you don't like it and recheck after reboot.
The issue as I see it is in the GPU not ramping up, which I would say is usually driver issue, or maybe interference by another program....such as fraps, teamspeak, geforce overlay, etc...
Even with SLI good cards you would expect to see 50-90% GPU use unless capped frames lowered it for you, as most times my FPS is capped at 60, and just in DAI my MSI 290X lightning was pulling between 60-90% useage. While it isn't near as good as your twin cards, it still shows that running fully your cards should be able to do it, BUT they aren't being pushed up to do it.
