I am running gtx 1060 X 6Gb by msi with an i7 4820k OC'ed to 4,2ghz
People with i5 6400 and gtx 1060 are getting 20-30 fps more than me what did I do wrong ?
 
Solution
I would uninstall the drivers and then manually reinstall them (use express/recommended not custom)

You can use DDU to do a clean uninstall.
That usually helps me when I have low fps.

Same settings
gpu set to OC mode - 1974mhz
no damage to cpu- temp 43 degrees at full load
GPU driver all updated, no idea what else to do

could it be the new driver I downloaded ??!!
should i try and revert to older one and see what it does or its unlikely that the driver is causing such things
