deadspaceboot

Clean installed windows and after some replacing of .dll files in the system32 folder everything is running perfectly. Still have no idea what was wrong to begin with.

This is the last thing I want to do right now.

Yes I have entirely uninstalled all previous Nvidia drivers via DDU and reinstalled. I am not overclocking. And yes I am around 1950mhz in Valley.

So last week, I bought a Zotac 1060 Amp Edition to replace my budget 750ti and was looking forward to an enormous performance jump. Instead, this card has performed worse than my 750ti. I barely am getting 30 FPS on Fallout 4 on high/ultra settings but even when I dial back the settings to low, the framerate does not increase at all. Borderlands 2 gives me the same problem. Even CS:GO won't run higher than 30-40 FPS. The only game I can get to run decently is Overwatch which runs as high as 65 FPS, but I still get enormous drops down into the 30s. I've uninstalled all of my graphics drivers, reinstalled the drivers, updated Windows, and even flashed a new version of my motherboard's UEFI for good measure. (My system has an i5 4460 and I can't imagine this could be bottlenecking me.) Every benchmark I've seen has the 1060 getting mid-100 FPS in Overwatch on ultra and I can't figure out what's going on with this card. And before anyone says anything, yes, my monitor is plugged into my GPU, not into my motherboard. I've tried the card in both PCIE slots on my motherboard and neither makes a difference. Zotac's technical support won't answer when I call them. I seem to be the only person on the internet having this problem with a 1060 as everyone else can't stop talking about how great their card is running. If anyone has any suggestions as to what I can do to remedy this, I would greatly appreciate it.
