I play overwatch i have game settings all low. render scale to 75% and still i drop fps in fights like anywhere from 30-40fps i set my frames to cap at 170 and i have a gtx 1060 using a 144hx monitor.

I looked at my cpu and nothing seems wrong i mean i jsut bought this gpu so im confused as my old 960 was similair issues, ( but with a little lower frames)
in game when i finish match i check my strix gpu thing i see the memor clock spikes up and down alot, so i tried lowering it and i tried putting it to higher, but nothing makes a difference? please help
