Hey there,
So, I like playing games and so i bought GTX1060 3GB for my 6-months old PC (8GB RAM, i5-7400, Windows 10), because i was looking for best price/performance value and GTX1060 seemed like a good option. When i tried some new games (Battlefield 1 for example) i was running it on Ultra quality almost stable, but with FPS drops when there were explosions etc. I thought it was ok because it might not be as powerful as I was thinking so i tried lowest settings and it didn't change. I started to think that it might be because of processor beacause it was happening only in ''high processor usage'' places. Then i tried The Division and it run perfectly almost on Ultra. And then there's Watch Dogs... I tried it on Ultra settings and in run on 40FPS. I know what are you thinking but it's game from 2014 and even on this setup it should run on 60FPS+ for sure and so i looked on some vids and i found one with exactly with the same setup as i have and it worked perfectly. And the last one happened today when i tried Fortnite, game with cartoon graphics and on FPS counter i have seen 40... Yeah, i tried lower the settings in all games but it didn't helped. I know that it is still fully playable but you know, you pay for something and then there're only problems... I was realy upset so i started thinking... My pc is placed between wall and my desk and I'm using stock cooler, so the reason for this all might be bad cooling> high temps> lowering the CPU's performance. I want to try it and buy some additional coolers but I must be sure with it.
Thanks for some help and sorry for my english
