So I just put in a GPU (was using intel integrated graphics before) and now that it's plugging in I was expecting better framerates. I got a gtx 1060 3GB which is almost certainty better than the integrated graphics on my CPU. But the framerates are about the same. My current theory is that it's still using the old GPU but I may be wrong. Why has my framerate not improved?

Probably because your bottleneck is CPU.

What framerates are you getting?

20-24 fps in Balmora and in Vivec. 60 fps in the wild.

Is there a way to fix that? Or check that that's what my problem is?

Press F3 twice. There will be a profilier. If you have a CPU-limited setup, there will be high numbers under Physics or Cull sections.
Or you can just put screenshot with opened profilier here.

This is what shows up when I open up the profiler (pressed F3 four times instead of just twice in case anything else helped)

This screenshot says you have 58 FPS, which is a quite good.
Post screenshot from Balmora.

Yeah sorry just took the picture wherever I was in the game at the time. This one is in balmora near Caius Cosade's house

Run the game using your dedicated GPU. Rightclick->Run with graphics processor->YOur GPU

Edit: sorry, thought youre on windows. but you get the idea.
