[Xuku]

Pc Specs:

Processor: i5-4670k 3.40ghz

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-Z87X-UD3H

Ram/memory: Kingston DDR3 8gb 1600hrz (2 sticks)

GPU: GTX 1060 6gb super clocked

SSD: 1 SSD for operating system and 1 for Games

Internet: Wired Connection

Case Fans: 4 140mm

Operating System: Windows 7 Premium

What is your monitor? If your monitor is 60 hz it cannot go further than 60 fps

[Jurrunio]

depends on what game is that.

Have you ever gotten 60fps in games ?  When did this problem start to happen ?  BTW that CPU is really holding you back and causing a bottleneck and what not.

[Fuzzleworth1]

The only reason I can easily see is your 8gb RAM could be the issue, and check to make sure your settings are low enough to get the 60fps

EDIT: I have similar specs and can hit 144fps on low med.

Mid range graphics card

Your PC is a fine mid range PC but it has its limits.

[bleedblue]

What games?

[SupaKomputa]

I have a RX580 an i can hit 80fps in destiny 2 on ultra. Forza Horizon 4 benchmark ultra 60fps.

1060 6gb should perform similarly.

yeah maybe its the ram.

[Jess207]

I got GTX1060 6gb and it can run games at 60fps,

any specific games you can mention?

for anti aliasing, use FXAA rather than SMAA, SMAA hit fps performance on 1060

should be ok to hit 60fps at high/ultra setting

for the RAM, is it 8gb x 2card (total of 16gb) or is it 8gb consist of 4gb x 2card?

 

you can try monitoring cpu/ram/gpu usage to determine whether your performance is being held back by the CPU/RAM/GPU on games you play

Maybe it is an old processor, but it is still a strong one!

And there is no way he is holding back a 1060!

This "Bottleneck" is the new fashion now?  way overestimated

Yes my monitor is 60hz  https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824001806

 

The games I play are Rainbow Six Siege/Elder Scrolls Online/Tom Clancy Ghost Recon Wildlands/Diablo/Subnatica.

I use to get 60 fps on all of these games and then I went back to console gaming and came back and now it's weird and laggy.

Rainbow six siege ran at high steady frames and now I am low-resolution scale all the way down so now it's like an indie game.

 

If I was to buy a new Motherboard Processor and Ram What would you recommend to go with my Gtx 1060 6gb Super Clocked

You'd get more from a GPU upgrade. 

I'm running a 3570k paired with 16gb and a 1070. Only recently started running into cpu bottlenecking. Easy fix, bumped it up to 4.4GHz. Not cpu limited again. (for now)

Yes I have gotten 60fps on Rainbow Six Siege (R6) before I was able to run it on high to ultra settings with no issue and I came back a few months later and now I run it on everything low settings. (Geforce Experience said my game is able to run with 60fps at high to ultra.)

[Underi]

Your PC should run all of those games except Wildlands over 60fps at decent enough settings. My i5 4460 did so with a 970. What are your temperatures in games? Install HWMonito and play a game, once it starts lagging check if your cpu or gpu are going 100% and if they are too hot.

I personally have a GTX 1060 6 GB version and I can't get above 60 fps at ultra settings on new games.1060 is not a high end graphics card so either reduce the settings or upgrade ur gpu to get constant 60 fps.

[Taja]

Remember: ultra settings are stupid. If you are not getting high fps, just turn down settings and BANG, problem solved.

[DaMainMan]

Look at your CPU temps -> it might be thermal throttling.

How often do you clean your pc?

[Mike2001Pro]

Right when I read your post, I suspected what the problem was. SOFTWARE - VIRUS/MALWARE/ADWARE.

 

Like clockwork, just after a couple months your computer slows down and you don't know why.  The hardware SPECS you posted are fine. Even if your computer runs fine but an application/game doesn't, it could still be adware sucking up your BANDWIDTH!

 

Run a scan!

my GPU is 60-70 degrees and my CPU last time i checked it said 88 degrees

About 1 time a month and I am starting to think I might have to do it more.

The thing was tho I use to be able to run ultra fine. now my graphics are on low everything and I can run it with a constant 60 fps?

my GPU is fine and my CPU might be running a little bit high(88 degrees) Maybe i need to reapply some thermal paste?

Disable V-Sync in game.... and there is a V-Sync in the NVidia control panel global setting, disable it too.  Don't rememeber if off the bat...
