Hey, first of all im not to smart when it comes to computers.

So i've recently bought a new ASUS GTX1060 6G OC, i removed my previous drivers with DDU and installed the new ones from the site.
I started noticing however that i wasnt getting the fps that i was expecting.
So i downloaded GPU-Z to see if i my gpu was just not good as i expected or if something else was wrong.

With games like BF4 and LOL it's only using around 1050 Mhz and with BF1 around 1500.
I have already turned of V-sync which gave me a slight improvol but still not what i was expecting.

specs:
CPU: AMD FX8350
RAM: 16GB
GPU: ASUS GTX 1060 OC 6G
PSU: cooler master rs-500-acab-b1
Motherboard: ASRock 970 pro3 R2.0
 
Solution


monitor cpu temps and speed

use amd overdrive


you might be cpu throttling or getting stuck at a low speed


do you have a msi motherboard?



if you are and fix the problems, fps should up a bit


but dont expect full usage from the 1060 until you update your complete setup
