Hi!
Firs of all, English isn't my native language, so excuse me if there will be mistakes in here.
My specs:
i5-4460
GTX1060 6Gb (was GTX770 2Gb)
4x4Gb DDR-3 1600 RAM
The things is, there is a game X. The game X isn't very GPU-demanding and I've been playing X for a long time on 770 with no problems at max settings, 144FPS (FPS vary of course), Vsync on. Around one week ago I've switched to 1060 which my CPU should've dealt fine with.
However some strange thing happened twice already - during the gameplay there were moments where the screen flickered one time and then after alt tabbing I've discovered that Windows Aero theme is replaced with Basic one. The theme reverted back to normal one by itself in 10 or 15 minutes.
I've checked Afterburner logs and discovered that around the time when this happened CPU peaked 100% (GPU did the same) load for a short period of time. The only noticeable thing other than that is GPU Bus Controller Usage (hope I've spelled it right) suddenly spiked from 1 up to 50 (all the other times it was below 15) and VID Controller Usage spike up to 84 (usually it's 40 at max).
I can't understand why. Settings are the same, FPS is a bit more stable but can be compared to 770.
