Title pretty much says it all, I recently purchased what I assumed was going to be quite an upgrade in the form of an MSI geforce gtx 1060 card, and i'm experiencing pretty hefty and frequent fps drops in games as simple as Overwatch - on MEDIUM. This is clearly not right, so i've come looking for answers from someone more knowledgeable than myself.

Things that come to mind from my limited experience; i'm wondering if any of the other hardware is bottlenecking the gpu. The temperature is stable, never exceeds 64C even when fps is spiking; so I don't *think* that it would be a heating issue. Have the newest drivers on a clean driver install. Beyond that, I would really appreciate any help, thanks in advance.
