New Card GTX 1050 Ti, STO putting 96% load on GPU

in Graphical and Sound Issues
I ran the game on full graphics on my other computer with a GT 750 and not a single hang or frame rate issue....

With this PC I just bought a new GTX 1050 Ti. Running an i7 2600 (3.4ghz), 16GB RAM, PSU is plenty... Game runs in the 75-120FPS but in certain STFs like Hive and especially Crystalline I will literally freeze up when things get heavy and will be stuck for 15-20 seconds. I have no choppy sounds but my video literally goes into "pause" mode until things clear up. I can move my mouse cursor smoothly.

When I look into my GPU-Z I see that these STFs are pulling an enormous load on my GPU... On my GTX 960 and GT 750 the same STFs on the same settings are only getting about a 30% load. All drivers are updated.

All in all, there seems to be an issue here that I cannot figure out. All other games I play with this card are superb.... Anyone having issues similar to this? I have no faith in the ticket system as I still have no reply from 2 months ago on Step Between Stars not completing and cannot be dropped no matter how many times I drop it on a character.

    Nope, figured it out.... The combat log when running was dumping 20-30fps in heavy combat. This is the reason I got the bigger card.. I thought my 960 was dying. It all started when Mirror Invasion Event released....Shot a vid showing what was going on and why.

    I got the same Problem with some of my Builds especially Science Builds in Crystalline. The Problem is the Engine, it can't keep up with the amount of Effects in Crystalline . It's not your PC. I tested this on different Pc's with up to i7 7700k GTX 1070 but still with this highend Hardware I was not able to run STO smoothly in Crystalline, because the Engine was not able to utulize the GPU. In Heavy Battle I got like 10% GPU Usage so the FPS drops sometimes under 10 FPS. Sorry for my bad english. Hope you understand :)
