Yeah, I don't think win 7 handles multi core display in task manager, as well as newer Win10.
I have found https://docs.microsoft.com/en-Process explorer a better option in many ways than task manager.
Unless the game is only using a couple cores, it doesn't sound like your CPU is bottlenecking the GPU...temps all look good if maybe a little bit low for the CPU, but I would rather it be low than high, unless it is a misread....25 C is 77 F or about room temp, so unless you have a really really good cooling system(water) I would expect to see a bit higher temps..my cpu usually runs around 50C.
ok i changed power options, don't see much of a difference though. looked into process explorer, and it was showing around 14% gpu, dedicated memory was 1.9gb, and system memory was 220mb. cpu was 70-80% all cores and dragon age inquisition was 50% within that. memory was around 12gb for system and 7gb physical, dunno if that means anything.

lol, it means it is a strange item that is causing the game to not really engage your GPU and thus run decently on your machine...
Things to look at if you have available....
1) Alternate cable HDMI-- will have lower refresh rate at higher resolutions but still should be availble in 1900x1000 60hz.
2) Change ports on both computer and display.
3) Alternate display port cable...
4) Alternate display...do you have another monitor you can plug into by itself..
I would reboot the machine after every test and change...yeah, pain but sometimes it makes a difference.
Odd alternative....open the case and remove one of the cards, reboot system and try out....if no effect, open system up, install other card in different location and different power connectors and retry...
