Hello guys.

I recently bouth Msi gtx 1060 ARMOR OCV1 6GB version.

I have paired with my Xeon e3-1231v3.

Tried to test my build in few games, like Bf1, NFS2K15, GTA 5. And have noticed that my GPU (70-80%) usage is much lower than CPU's(90-100%) - sounds like bottleneck, no?
Also watched few videos in youtube with same setup, and they had no problems and got much higher fps.
Have latest Nvidia drivers 376.33

Hello... The Graphic settings of the APP will vary FPS and Monitor resolution too... so you need this info from the utube poster to compare with your results.

As a "simple test" reduce/disable your Audio settings/bit/freq as these are being processed by the CPU... if you are using the Sound chip output of your MB.

Another Test would be to disable the sound chip output and use the GPU HDMI audio output. B /

Your APP Audio Sounds needs to be processed by something... either by your CPU or GPU... and there are performance settings/hits for those too.
