Hello need some help.
I've had a evga gtx 1060 sc for a while now but recently i'm experiencing stuttering and lag in games that I've never had before. I've been looking at temp which are good but in afterburner the "voltage & no load limits spike to 1 max when gaming. I have my card overclocked pretty high too. clocked at +145 core clock and +530 mem clock with +40% core voltage. I need some help finding the problem to the lag making a lot of games unplayable now.

i7 6700 (non k)
8gb ram
evga gtx 1060 3gb sc
evga supernova GQ 750w

No i have not. I will try that. But my clocks are relatively average and I've ran fur mark and heavens on it for about 3-4 hours before gaming on the settings. But i will try to see if it works.

I have actually solved the problem it wasn't actually anything to do with the gpu. I had the game set to use "DirectX 12" instead of "DirectX 11" When I set it back to DirectX11 the lag went away.
