My 1060 throttles at around 72 C. I used evga precision and raised the temperature to the max and set it to priority, and it still throttles there. I also switched priority to power to see if that did anything, but it didn't. Help pls. Gta goes from 60 to 20 fps and its rly annoying.

unlink your power & temps in PrecisionX then set your power draw limit in precisionX to max and set priority on temp. Then set your fan curve to aggressive. You are probobly hitting wattage throttling not temp. It just so happens that your working the card and the temp is up at the time. 72c is fine for these cards

Also this will sound backwards but dont back off the texture & graphics settings too far to compensate. I have noticed on my 1060 & 1070 that if you dont actually work the card it wont gpu boost and you will get stuttering etc.

yes it is bottlenecked im using the fx-8350 but i know its throttling because the gpu clock goes from 1962 to 900 and doesnt go back up until the temperature of the gpu is around 45 c

It is throttling. It goes from 196whatever mhz to 900, then back up after it cools down. Thats what throttling is.

also if you have not done it yet turn off the cool&quiet nonsense in the bios....those FX chips are total dogs until you set them at one flat frequency(I used to have one).....they will scale down until its "needed" but it will cause issues like this because they dont kick-in in time.
