Hello!
I recently bought a gtx 1060 windforce OC from Gigabyte to replace my radeon HD7900. I did this because I enjoy playing Overwatch and I seemed to be getting less and less fps untill the game became unplayable. I installed the new GPU and noticed a significant improvement in Overwatch (and most other games I’ve tried). Now with Rocket League I’ve always had a stable 144 fps with my old card but now with the new one I have lower fps on almost all maps. I’ve monitored my performance with afterburner and noticed that my CPU runs at 50-55% average during the game but my GPU is always at around 98%. How is this possible when my GPU is quite a big upgrade from my old one?

Things I’ve tried so far:
- Deleted all my old drivers and reinstalled everything.
- Tried it with and without geforce experience (also setting the Rocket League settings on performance within Geforce Experience).
- In 3D settings of NVIDIA setting everything to low and performance.
- Made sure it’s not using an onboard GPU.
- Put my new GPU on overclock mode.
- Made sure my BIOS and graphics drivers are up to date.
- Read all the topics about this on this forum.

My specs:
- GeForce® GTX 1060 WINDFORCE OC 6G
- Intel i5-3450 3.10 ghz 3.50 ghz
- 8 GB ram
- GA-Z77-D3H (rev. 1.0)
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Have you changed the graphics when you used the gtx 1060 or is it the same settings as your old card?
That the GPU is 98% being used means that there is no bottleneck and that the GPU is using its full power and your CPU doesn't do that much things. So this means your PC is in good condition.
Have you open much background tasks?
I think that you have many things open while gaming which it means that the game uses less RAM than it supposed to be.
Try to close everything and only start Rocket League.
Is this problem only in Rocket League? or in all your games?

Thanks! I only have the problem with Rocket League. With every other games I had improvements but with RL it just got worse with the new card. I close most programs before running Rocket League but there might be some processes running I don't know of. Is there a way to easily monitor how much RAM is used?

I tested it and I'm only using 600 mb of 8GB of RAM during Rocket League.
