Some games are just poorly optimized or, and it's totally possible, some games are just that graphically demanding.
For instance, I've heard GTA V for PC is pretty well optimized and even with a 1070 (I know, because I have one) I can dip into the 50-60s with the graphics maxed out. Games really aren't discernibly different on medium or high settings though, and run much better that way. Plus AA kills FPS.
Nice upgrades though, and crazy that your GPU literally caught fire!
